Judge Juan Merchan postpones deciding on whether to throw out the president-elect’s conviction on presidential immunity grounds.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a scheme to influence the 2016 election.

The verdict came on 31 May following fewer than 12 hours of jury deliberations in the unprecedented first criminal trial of a US president, former or sitting.
