On November 22 local time, a judge in New York approved President-elect Trump's request to drop his "hush money" criminal case on the same day, setting a deadline of December 2 for Trump to submit a motion to withdraw, and asking prosecutors to respond before December 9. It is reported that the sentencing date for Trump's "hush money" case was originally scheduled for November 26. Manhattan District Attorney Bragg asked New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Mercan earlier this week to consider delaying all litigation in the case until the end of Trump's presidency. Trump's lawyers argue that the case will create so-called "unconstitutional obstacles" to Trump's ability to govern, so it must be dropped. (CCTV News)
