12:30 REPORT

Happy Friday! What’s the move this weekend — are we seeing “Wicked” or “Gladiator II”? Oh! And the Capitol Christmas Tree arrived in Washington this morning. I prefer to think of its police escort as an official motorcade. 😉 Here’s what’s happening today:

Trump’s criminal sentencing has been delayed.
Out with Matt Gaetz, in with Pam Bondi.
Gaetz says he won't return to Congress.
What to know about Trump’s denaturalization crackdown?

I’m Cate Martel with a quick recap of the morning and what’s coming up. Send tips, commentary, feedback and cookie recipes to cmartel@thehill.com. Did someone forward this newsletter to you? Sign up here.

Trump will *not* be sentenced next week:

Judge Juan Merchan, who has overseen President-elect Trump’s New York criminal case, announced that sentencing will not happen next week, as had been planned.

How this has gone down: “The judge halted the case to accept additional written briefing on Trump’s argument that his return to the White House compels the court to toss his 34-count felony conviction entirely. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) is opposing that request. Instead, Bragg floated that Merchan could freeze the proceedings while Trump is in office, meaning the conviction would remain on the books but sentencing wouldn’t occur until 2029, at the earliest.”
