sandra: judge, go ahead, jump in. >> yeah, you know, my feeling is this has been a thorn in won juan merchan's time because once donald trump that elected he knew he was in a "no" win situation. merchan knows if this case is appealed it will be reversed, all of the evidence that he allowed in was reversible error. even harvey weinstein got reversible error based on that kind of evidence, too much evidence coming in, and i think that juan merchan is going to use that hearing if there is a scheduled hearing, he's going to use it as an opportunity to get rid of the case. alvin bragg is sticking to his guns because that's how he's going to stay elected. that's the people who elected him. but i think merchan is in a no-win situation. if he dismisses it it is the end of an embarrassment for him but i understand why the trump team is saying it is a victory. they don't know what to do about it, merchan has already adjourned this thing, they are going to adjourn it again. >> sandra: it might be surprising to see them say the manhattan d.a. has conceded that this witch hunt cannot continue. i don't thin

to try defying gravity ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> we're following breaking news as we await a ruling from judge juan merchan donald trump's new york hush money case. lawyers are demanding the case and criminal conviction be thrown out entirely. in a letter to judge merchan, they write, immediate dismissal of this case is mandated by the federal constitution, the presidential transition act of 1963, and the interest of justice in order to facilitate the orderly transition of executive power. in a filing yesterday, prosecutors from the manhattan d.a.'s office requested that the president-elect sentencing be postponed to put the case on pause while trump is in the white house. joining me now is msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. this all became even more difficult for the d.a., certainly for the prosecutors, after the presidential immunity decision from the supreme court. >> that is certainly true, andrea. and there was a motion from trump's lawyers that was already on juan merchan, the judge in this case's plate, they asked him to set aside the verdict on the grounds of the presidential immunity decision,

. >> judge juan merchan made it official this week that president elect trump's criminal sentencing is indefinitely suspended. they are waiting to resolve some other issues in the case. earlier this week, the district attorney's office made it clear they are filing to delay that sentencing until after trump leaves the white house for a second time. but one thing they're not going to allow is for this case to be dismissed. prosecutors say they will continue to fight that, even though trump's lawyers are trying multiple different paths to try to get the entire case tossed out. now, judge juan merchan gave trump attorneys until december second to lay out their arguments why they think that? because trump is now president elect, that his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records should be tossed out. prosecutors have a week to respond. so it's possible that juan merchan could potentially give us an answer on the fate of this historic case before the new year. emira victor. >> all right. paula thanks. now, as president elect, trump is building up his administration president bi

now, judge juan merchan gave trump attorneys until arguments why they think that because trump is now president elect, that his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records should be tossed out. prosecutors have a week to respond so it's possible that juan merchan could potentially give us an answer on the fate of this historic case before the new year. amara. victor. >> all right, paula reid, thank you. joining us now for analysis is politics editor for bloomberg news, laura davison. laura good morning to you. thank you so much for joining us on this saturday. as you know, the president elect went on this blitz last night. he rapidly fired off his announcements for many government posts on truth social. last night. i want to first start with trump's pick for treasury secretary billionaire scott bessent. he's an interesting pick, isn't he? i mean he once worked for george soros. he would be the first openly gay treasury treasury secretary, and president-elect trump took more time with this decision, didn't he? i mean he's also not a disrupter yes. >> this is someone who is w

the decision to freeze or dismiss the case, judge juan merchan is expected to say something about it.ite is bragg-- >> this judge both of those are extremely unlikely to happen. he has two bad choices. one is to sentence the president-elect of the united states to time served as basically all of this was for nothing. the other is to say i'm going to sentence him in a way that balance he's these constitutional norms of respect for the presidency, and respect for the jury system, kick it down the road and sentence him he won't interfere with the presidency at all. so alvin bragg is going to be asking for jail time if it's put four years in the future. right now there's no choice. the only sentence available is what is called an unconditional discharge, which means that is it, the case is done, he has a felony conviction, and that's it. >> reading between the lines here, it sounds like you believe that if juan merchan preferably kicks the can down the road it's because he has something in mind for trump that's quite serious in terms of the sentence? >> i think the pathway to incarceratio

president-elect donald trump's attorneys filed a request for judge juan merchan to toss out the new york criminals case after the manhattan district attorney says it wants to pause the case until trump finishes his second term. they want this thing to cook in excess of four years. critics such as jonathan turley have a warning. >> this is an unprecedented and dangerous type of condition. it is creating a type of layaway presidency. >> harris: ben domenech in "focus" next. a little bit later the coach of the san jose state university's women's volleyball team just got suspended after filing a title ix complaint over a transgender player on the team. another player also spoke right here on "focus" when this whole thing was starting. watch this. >> we come to college with a dream of playing collegiate sports and pursuing the dream we've had since we were little girls. the difference being here is that we've had to put up with so much more difficulties. if you've the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your s

but, we will now have to wait to see if judge juan merchan agrees with bragg. i want to bring in vaughn hillyard. peter baker, and msnbc political analyst from new york times. kristi greenburg with the sdny criminal division. a former criminal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. with me in studio. a retired judge diane keisel and lisa reuben. you are the one with me here in studio. we just got the paperwork. you are getting the first look at the people versus trump. what's going on? >> so today the district attorney owed judge merchan and explanation of what they thought the next steps should be. let me remind you where things stood. judge merchan was supposed to make a decision about whether the verdict could stand. trump's lawyers had argued. >> given the fact that donald trump is now president-elect of the united states. >> no. it was on a different basis. they had asked him previously to decide. could the verdict stand on the presidential immunity decision. given that some of the evidence that was admitted at the trial came from conversations he had as pres

i can tell you three main takeaways at this point from judge juan merchan.e is allowing trump's lawyers to file a motion to throw out the case. he is also agreeing to delay the sentencing, which was originally set for november 26th, next tuesday. and he is also pushing back a decision to throw out the case on the grounds of presidential immunity. that is something that trump's lawyers have pushed for. remember, during this trial, there was evidence that was presented by manhattan d.a. alvin bragg's office that related to and included time during president trump's first term in office. so prosecutors earlier this week requested that the sentencing be postponed until after trump's second term. so the judge is agreeing to postpone the date. still going through this just dropping right now, gillian. we're trying to find if there is actually a date that we can look forward to for the sentencing. trump's lawyers are expected to continue filing appeals to throw this case out. trump's lawyer todd blanche his pick for deputy attorney general has argued that the will

so why is new york judge juan merchan dragging his heels, delaying his decision on whether to toss out the new york trump conviction? tonight fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett, he's ready to to go with his expert analysis. also we've got this story, rising chaos in the democrat party. now in a meltdown can after trump's massive, historic victory. >> i mean, it's just what they do every time. but let's look at what their votes were on critical economic issues. look at how many of them take corporate pac money and then come back and tell me how you think it was progressives that are to blame. elizabeth: all right still in the blame game. pramila jayapal not reflecting on how dumb their ideas are, going all in on the blame game after voters resounding hi rejected the far left and their ideas with. we're going to talk to you about why their new plan to try to resist and even, quote, sabotage the trump is going to fall apart. plus, we've got democrats on camera finally admitting the quiet part out loud, yes, they did break the border. why? to create more democrat voters to stay in power.

we're waiting on this order from juan merchan. if we get that we'll turn it around. ask you about the mass deportation issue. president is serious. voters backed him up on it. >> good morning. i think that president-elect trump campaigned on this specifically. if you look at every single rally what did he say? he said we'll deport illegal immigrants. start with the criminals and we're going to get them out, he said, time and time again. it was one of the key platforms and planks of his campaign. so there is no surprise here. tom homan is not sugar coating it. what it looks like specifically if push comes to shove and some of these mayors and sanctuary cities start to defy that, that becomes a major question mark. there is talk yesterday that there would be a national emergency called and the u.s. military could be used and the president-elect responded true with exclamation points. how that looks and what that feels like i think has yet to be seen. clearly it will be a big part of the early trump administration. >> bill: dana mentioned the boston mayor. listen to wha

stuart, right now the attention is laser focused on the judge in this case, juan merchan.en opinion sometime today. and in terms of timing, merchan delayed the sentencing until after the election, so today to's deadline for this decision is self-imposed by him. at hand is trump's conviction on those 34 counts of falsifying business records. you'll remember stormy daniels and michael cohen testified about the 130,000 in payments to allegedly buy stormy daniels' silence. now, trump's lawyers say it was wrong to admit into trial evidence from his time as president, evidence like conversations from white house aides and their observations to prove circumstances relating the before trump's time in office. prosecutor prosecutors, on the other hand, argue even if it was wrong to admit that evidence, it was harmless error to. they say they have so much ore evidence, the jury would have convicted him anyway. it's unclear how merchan will decide this issue s and some do not expect him to dismiss the case given his reputation for being so hard on the trump defense team. if he does di

judge juan merchan has delayed it, while trump's lawyers and prosecutors argue over dismissing the case altogether. trump's spokesperson steven chung called it a win, saying in part of a statement, quote, president trump won a landslide victory as the american people have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the witch hunt cases. >> the guy was elected the president of the united states. it was a case that should never have been brought. >> trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after his lawyer made payments to adult film star stormy daniels, but earlier this year, the supreme court ruled that presidents are immune from any official acts made while in office that calls into question some of the evidence presented at trial. district attorney alvin bragg does not want the case dismissed, and asked the court to consider other options, like delaying the sentencing until after trump's upcoming term in the white house. >> in theory, judge merchan could still set a sentencing date where he could slap a fine on donald trump,

this after judge juan merchan postponed a decision on a matter until next tuesday. >> sandra: merchan been expected to rule whether trump's guilty verdict could be scrapped based on the supreme court presidential immunity decision, so what happens with the case now? katie pavlich, judge jeanine pirro, andy mccarthy, jonathan turley all standing by with their thoughts. >> he has a mandate. got to get his nominees done. got to get his tax cuts in. we've got to get all of his legislation passed. >> there are times to campaign and engage in the political process. that time has come to an end, and we got to figure out how we can solve problems on behalf of every dave voters. >> this will hit the ground running to deliver present from agenda to the 119 congress and we will work closely with him and his administration to turn this country around and unleashed, as he says, a new golden age in america. >> john: the trump transition moving at warp speed as congress returns to washington this week for a lame duck session and a meet and greet for some of its members to be peered hello, i'm john r

prosecutors are now urging judge juan merchan to pause the case to allow trump to seek a dismissal.as you know, of falsifying business records related to payments for adult film actress stormy daniels in 2016. you know, as we talk about this, emily, and we talk about stormy daniels, i was reading today that there is a case where she actually went after trump and owes him $560,000 for legal expenses. so there has to be now a gestalt view from up top. are you going to go after a presidential elect who got a mandate in a landslide, millions of votes more than his opponent and the electoral college. so popular and electoral vote. there has to be a top-download, looking at what he faces, what the country faces if you can't do his job, and how others have been treated. already we have seen some kind of special treatment with stormy daniels because i haven't seen that check written in the previous 2018 case where she owed him money for that case. so is that enough to stymie the movement of what the people just put into process, by potentially politically handcuffing this president going in

juan merchan is getting himself ready to render a decision on that motion to dismiss. sometime before the holidays. his wording is very careful in this one page order with respect to the sentencing. he's saying it is adjourned to the extent that it had been scheduled for november 26th. what he's not saying is that the expensing is adjourned forever or indefinitely. >> he's given about ten days. wouldn't you assume they were working on this. >> i would assume they were already working on this, particularly because they ceded some of the arguments in a series of letters. one letter too the d's office and another letter earlier this week to judge merchan. they have to put greater meet on those bones. to the extent that todd blanche and emil bove were hoping for a restful holiday, they're not going to get that. they're going to spend this holiday really fleshing out the constitutional arguments as to why it should be improper for donald trump to be sentenced in this case, this is already completed. >> is there any conflict of interest while he's been -- trump said he wants

but you know, judge juan merchan, who acted a co-prosecutor in the case, he let alvin bragg get away with it. even worse, he used testimony protected by immunity. so a fair judge would toss the verdicts next week. and i'm with you, sean. i doubt merchan will. he may proceed to sentencing and ignore the fact that new york law does not support incarceration. but it doesn't matter, because trump is entitled to bail pending appeal and he cannot be imprisoned while a state by a state court while he's president. no higher court would ever allow it on constitutional grounds. so, you know, i don't think that case will ever survive what do you think, professor? no, i think the lawfare is over in relation to trump himself. but they're still going gung ho after trump's lawyers. they're even trying to disbar me in massachusetts because i defended donald trump on the floor of the senate and because i challenged the use of voting machines in arizona for the future. if the voting machine companies won't transparently tell us how they count the votes and what their algorithms are. so they're still g

judge juan merchan in a ruling friday canceled the president-elect the upcoming sentences set for this tuesday. instead the court accepts the request to file a mission to dismiss the case that happens december 2nd. both cases shutting down and fulton county rico case dormant more months. glenn kirschner msnbc legal analyst and host of the justice matters podcast. welcome. so let's make clear here. the sentencing has not been completely taken off the table. it's just on pause, but that's indefinitely. right? so talk about the options that judge merchan has right now. >> yeah. alex, calling judge merchan's option the three ds. he can dismiss the case, he can delay the case, or he can deny the motion to dismiss and proceed immediately to sentencing. those three different options, i have some support in the law. some have less support. dismissing the case after a jury has voted guilty 34 times over for donald trump falsifying business records to try to heat in 20916 election doesn't have a lot of support. no law, precedent, appellate court decision and no constitutional provision that says

attorney alvin bragg sent a letter to the judge overseeing the case yesterday requests that judge juan merchangs until after december 9th. that date is when prosecutors are expected to respond to an upcoming motion from trump's defense team that will call for the case against trump to be dismissed entirely. bragg's team says they will oppose that motion. but they also signal that they would be open to postponing proceedings in the case until trump's term in the white house is over. that, of course, won't happen until january of 2029. trump was convicted on 34 felony counts back in may for falsifying business documents related to hush money payments for adult film actress stormy daniels. he never, though, was sentenced. >>> next up here, we will turn to sports and highlights from the nba, including a terrific game in boston that stopped a long winning streak. >>> plus, we will have a look at the brand-new college football playoff rankings. those stories and a check on the weather forecast when "way too early" returns. eck on the weather forecast when "way too early" returns vicks vapostick. and

judge juan merchan, he's given himself until november 12th to determine whether or not is going to toss case. how much do you think that affects merchan's deliberations? >> i don't think it affects his deliberations to the conviction itself. i think it weighs heavily on him with respect to the sentencing. i can expect and we can expect to see an application of donald trump's lawyers asking him to postpone the sentencing or never hold it because it would be improper, it would raise constitutional concerns to sentence a president-elect. i think the big question on everybody's mind is when that application comes what is manhattan d.a. alvin bragg going to do? is he going to agree the sentence should be held in trump's four year, or do you just agree he doesn't need to be sentenced at all as long as the conviction holds. my guess is that alvin bragg's team wants to be vindicated with respect to the actual conviction. whether or not trump is actually sentenced may mean less to them. >> well, we're in terra incognito, as they say, lisa. you are our guide through all of it. that is our show fo

judge juan merchan announced there would be no sentencing in trump's hush money case.here he was found guilty on 34 felony counts. what are your thoughts on this pause? >> it makes sense to me. i know this is going to be widely unpopular, and yes, justice needs to be served, but donald trump is going to be sworn into office in january, and that's where it should just kind of stop at this point. they can put it on pause after he's out of office, if they want to, but at this point i understand the thinking. >> i will just say that this is why he ran for office, number one. >> i agree with that. >> and you know, poor people and people of color should be so lucky as to get these pauses in jurisprudence. because that never happens. i'll leave it at that. >> right, never happens. one thing that donald trump and republicans have been talking about since election night and that is mandate. they have a mandate. the american people have spoken. they've given us the white house, they've given us, kept the jorts in the republican's hands in the house, given us the majority in the

. >>> new york judge juan merchan has just delayed a major ruling on the future of president- elect donaldmp's hush money conviction. the judge was scheduled to decide whether his 34 felony convictions should be tossed out in the wake of the supreme court's presidential immunity decision. now that deadline has been pushed one week to november 19th. joining me now, msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben and duncan levan. why did the judge delay and what does this mean? >> there was a joint application from both sides. the donald trump side saying it would be unconstitutional to force him to go through a sentencing as a future president because the same constitutional concerns that would animate for example prosecuting a sitting president, those apply when you are sentencing somebody who is about to be president. according to them. they say his time right now need to be absorbed by planning for his presidency. and you have the da's office saying look. there are conflicting values for us. we want to uphold the jury's verdict. we believe in that verdict. and we believe that it was reached with a

new york judge juan merchan has decided to delay his ruling on whether or not to toss president-elect felony fraud conviction, postponing a decision on the matter until next tuesday. andy mccarthy is blasting the judge for taking the easy way out. >> so he is not a guy who easily admits that he was wrong. seems to me that this ruling allows him to continue that record. basically, he doesn't have to deal with trump, the immunity issue come he gets to basically not admit and everyone gets to carry on. >> dana: and while merchan weighs what he is going to do, new york attorney general letitia james, who built her entire political campaign on taking down donald trump, is doubling her efforts to be a thorn in the side of president-elect. >> we have been working both in my office and with other democratic ags across this country, to make sure we would be ready to respond to any attempt to roll back our rights. we've created contingency plans. so no matter what the next administration throws at us, we're ready. we ready to respond to their attacks. >> dana: judge, we pulled you out of court

judge juan merchan has given himself until november 12th to determine whether or not to toss the case>> not with respect to the conviction itself. it weighs much more heavily on him if he sustains the verdict with respect to the sentencing. we can expect to see an application of some sort by donald trump's lawyers asking him to either postpone the sentencing or never hold it because it would raise constitutional concerns to sentence the president-elect. when the applications comes, what is the manhattan da going to do? is he going to agree the sentence should be held in abeyance during his presidency? you can put a four year pause on it. on the sentencing. or you could just agree he doesn't need to be sentenced at all as long as the conviction holds. my guess is that the team want to be vindicated with respect to the actual conviction. whether or not trump is sentenced may mean less to them. >> well, we are in terra incognito. >> oh are we. >> you are our guide through all of it. >> thank you. >>> that is our show for this evening. now it is time for the last word with the great lawre

and judge juan merchan wants to put him in that numb bra, this zone of ambiguity.e is a reason presidents cannot be tried. you don't want the dam aclose hanging over a president's head in a trial. the same analysis could be employed for a sentencing. are you going to hold a sentencing in abeyance for four years. to my friends in new york. you may have won the battle, you lost the war. you actually helped to elect him. he should write you a thank you note and send you a legal bill. if they keep this up. if they keep this up. they will ensure a republican majority for years to come. >> trace: almost seems like a lot of democrats we have been talking to want this to go away too. >> it was a joke case, trace. i was a prosecutor for two decades. i would have laughed if somebody brought me this case. it's not even a good like business litigation case. think of the court time they wasted. all of the things you could be doing in new york. no offense to the city, they have got a lot of crime. and you are going to see this amount of resources and time own a bookkeeping matte

neil: all right, the legal team around donald trump calling a decisive win now that judge juan merchanng the president-elect to file a motion to dismiss the new york criminal hush money case against him. that could delay his sentence indefinitely, if it ever happens at all. andy mccarthy is with us, fox news contributor, former assistant deputy district attorney. you increasingly get the sense this case is disappearing. am i right? >> well, it has to disappear for four years, neil, because while president trump is in office it won't be possible as a legal or practical matter to proceed if against him. so it'll be -- i think the it'll be disappearing from our consciousness in any event because there's not enough time to get through the litigation that's on the table and impose sentence, enter a judgment of conviction and run with the appellate process before january 20th. so, obviously, it's got to be suspended. neil: yeah. and it is a little weird, right, where the judge involved says that donald trump and his legal team can go ahead and file a motion to dismiss the case. that's unusua
