President-elect Trump's sentencing in his criminal hush money trial was put on pause Tuesday, according to a new report.
Axios reported Judge Juan Merchan adjourned the sentencing, slated to take place in New York City on Nov. 26, as he considers how to move forward after Trump's Election Day victory.
No additional details were included on the case's docket, according to the report.
Merchan is also expected to rule Tuesday on Trump's demand for a new trial, the report noted.

Merchan paused the case for a week on Nov. 12 so Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office could file to the court what prosecutors believe to be appropriate next steps.
Trump's lawyers want to see the case dismissed. Trump was found guilty in May of falsifying business records to conceal hush money paid ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
He pleaded not guilty and called the prosecution a political witch hunt.
