A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump’s sentencing date in his criminal case for a second time, allowing Trump to wait until after the election to learn his fate after his conviction in his “hush money” case.

Trump was scheduled to be sentenced in the case on Sept. 18. His attorneys asked on Aug. 14 for his sentencing to be pushed back until after the presidential election, arguing that a delay is necessary to resolve ongoing legal challenges to his conviction.

Justice Juan Merchan issued an order delaying sentencing on Friday.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in relation to a “hush money” payment to an adult film star before the 2016 election.
