Democrats had hoped that Trump's conviction would undermine his reelection bid, but voters saw it for what it was: partisan lawfare.

Judge Juan Merchan was expected to rule on Tuesday whether Trump's conviction should be vacated in light of the Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity issued after Trump's trial. Trump's sentencing was originally scheduled for July 11, mere days before he was set to accept the Republican Party's nomination for president.

Trump was convicted earlier this year in a rigged trial brought about by a partisan prosecutor over a minor bookkeeping offense, with a partisan judge and a jury loaded with anti-Trump Democrats hell-bent on trying to stop his return to the White House.

Merchan, who had previously postponed rulings in the case until after the election, agreed to postpone it again until Nov. 19, giving prosecutors time to respond to Trump's request for a full dismissal now that he's set to enter the White House. Court records, now public, confirm the decision to freeze proceedings temporarily. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
