Former President Donald Trump on Sept. 9 asked a federal appeals court to issue a pause in his New York criminal case, after a state judge delayed the sentencing until after the November election.

Justice Juan Merchan, of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County, last week delayed the sentencing from Sept. 18 to Nov. 26, months after a Manhattan jury found the former president guilty of falsifying business records.
