TL;DR

Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office oppose dismissing Donald Trump's criminal conviction related to hush money payments but agree to pause the case until after his presidency. Trump's lawyers argue for dismissal, citing presidential immunity and the Presidential Transition Act, while prosecutors maintain that immunity does not apply to private conduct. The case, involving 34 felony counts, is tentatively set for sentencing on November 26, but proceedings may be deferred until Trump leaves office in 2029.
