NEW YORK — A judge agreed Friday to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case until after the November election, granting him a hard-won reprieve as he navigates the aftermath of his criminal conviction and the homestretch of his presidential campaign.

Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also weighing a defense request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, delayed Trump’s sentencing until Nov. 26, three weeks after the final votes are cast in the presidential election.

The judge wrote that the delay is 'to avoid any appearance -- however unwarranted' that sentencing was affected by the presidential election{ai:summary}<p>A judge has postponed Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money case until after the November election, giving him a reprieve as he campaigns for presidency.
