It’s over. Yes, there are legal issues that the parties and the courts can unwind if they care to — Trump’s immunity claim, first and foremost. But this case won’t carry on while he’s president, as the DA’s office has apparently recognized, and maybe not even while he’s president-elect.

The district attorney's office suggested deferring all remaining proceedings in the case, including the November 26 sentencing, until after Trump leaves the White House in 2029.

Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday said they will oppose President-elect Trump’s demand to dismiss his New York criminal conviction following the election, instead floating the judge could freeze the case until Trump leaves office.
