Trump's attempts to delay trials fail in New York court.

A New York judge has refused to delay the $250 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump and his company, which is set to begin on October 2. Trump's legal team had requested more time to work on their defense against the fraud allegations brought by the New York attorney general's office. The judge denied the request, stating that the trial date is "written in stone." The attorney general's office criticized Trump's delaying tactics, and the judge allowed the Trump side to take 10 additional depositions they'd been seeking. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and maintains the suit is part of a partisan "witch hunt" against him.
