Trump wins stay in hush-money case, allowing him time to argue for its dismissal

• President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday won a stay of deadlines in his hush-money case.

One week from sentencing, President-elect Donald Trump has won at least a temporary stay in his criminal hush-money case.

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan agreed to stay all deadlines in the case for at least a week in a written decision Tuesday morning.

Prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did not contest the stay, requested by Trump’s legal team to allow time to prepare further arguments for the outright dismissal of the case.
