According to BlockBeats, on November 22, a judge in New York approved Trump's request to dismiss the "hush money" criminal case and set December 2 as the deadline for submitting the motion to dismiss.

Prosecutors have until December 9 to respond. The original sentencing date was November 26. The Manhattan District Attorney asked to postpone the proceedings until the end of President Trump's term. Trump's lawyers said the case posed an "unconstitutional obstacle" to his ability to govern.
