Following Supreme Court ruling, what happens next in Trump's criminal hush money case?
With Donald Trump's sentencing in his New York hush money case delayed until September following Tuesday's decision by Judge Juan Merchan, the judge now faces the task of applying the Supreme Court's new test for the limits of presidential immunity to the former president's criminal conviction. Trump in May was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election. Trump's lawyers have argued that the judge should "set aside" the jury's verdict in the case because the jury heard evidence during the trial that would have been protected by presidential immunity, based on Monday's ruling by the Supreme Court that Trump is entitled to "at least presumptive immunity" from criminal prosecution for official acts taken while in office. To rule on the defense's request -- which Judge Merchan plans to do by Sept. 6 -- he will likely have to answer two key questions, according to former federal prosecutor Jarrod Schaeffer.

The New Jersey man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie on stage at a speaking event in 2022 rejected a plea deal that involved state and potential federal charges, attorneys said Tuesday.
