The Manhattan judge who oversaw the “hush money” criminal trial of Donald Trump is expected to announce next week whether the newly elected president’s historic felony conviction still stands.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan had already postponed the sentencing for more than four months after the election — giving himself until next Tuesday to decide whether the conviction should be vacated.

Trump’s landslide election victory will further embolden his legal team “to ensure a conviction never occurs,” CNN chief legal officer Paula Reid noted late Wednesday.

“Here they are going to argue with the judge that the conviction should never happen because Trump has now been elected president,” Reid noted.

“They will say he is entitled to the same constitutional protections as a sitting president and should be protected from government actors, and in this case, prosecutors.”

Trump, 78, faces up to four years in prison after being convicted of 34 charges of falsifying company records to cover up payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Legal experts have already predicted that Trump will not have a hard time.

“Merchan does not have the guts to jail a former president or newly elected president,” said former prosecutor Neama Rahmani.

“Now that Trump has won, his criminal problems are disappearing.”
