A judge has postponed a decision on whether to undo President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction in his hush-money case because of a US Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

New York Judge Juan M Merchan had been set to rule on Tuesday but instead, he told Mr Trump’s lawyers that he will delay the ruling until November 19.
