Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday said they will oppose President-elect Trump’s demand to dismiss his New York criminal conviction following the election, instead floating the judge could freeze the case until Trump leaves office.

In a new letter, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) said he won’t resist adjourning Trump’s hush money sentencing next week so the judge can receive further briefing on whether to toss the case.

Though Bragg staked out firm opposition to that request, he did suggest “non-dismissal options” like halting all proceedings at least until Trump’s departure from office in 2029.

“The People deeply respect 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,” Bragg wrote. “We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system.”
