On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told Judge Juan Merchan that sentencing in the falsified business records case against President-elect Donald Trump should be postponed. Trump's team celebrated the move, calling it a "total and definitive victory for President Trump."

The filing stated, "The People deeply respect the Office of the President, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that Defendant’s inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions. We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system," per NBC News.

"Given the need to balance competing constitutional interests, consideration must be given to various non-dismissal options that may address any concerns raised by the pendency of a post-trial criminal proceeding during the presidency, such as deferral of all remaining criminal proceedings until after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term," the filing added.

"This is a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American People who elected him in a landslide. The Manhattan DA has conceded that this Witch Hunt cannot continue. The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump's legal team is moving forward to get it dismissed once and for all," said Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung.

This comes after the court adjourned Trump's upcoming November 26 sentencing date.

The prosecution gave two reasons as to why the sentencing should be delayed: "First, as a practical matter, Defendant’s stated plan to pursue immediate dismissal and file interlocutory appeals will likely lead to a stay of proceedings in any event; staying proceedings now until this Court’s resolution of the motion to dismiss would thus avoid unnecessary litigation. Second, proceeding to sentencing now would not avoid the new immunity question that Defendant intends to raise."
