Former President Donald Trump will not be sentenced in his New York criminal case until after the November 5 election.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to an adult-film star alleging an affair with the former president.

Trump 's lawyers have pushed to have the conviction tossed because of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.

Merchan had said he would rule on the immunity question on September 16 .

He had planned to sentence Trump , if necessary, two days later .

Trump 's lawyers asked Merchan to push that date back until after the election.

The delay means that the election will not interfere with any sentence that Merchan might impose.

Trump could be sentenced to as much as four years of prison time.
