TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump's hush-money criminal case in Manhattan state court faces potential delays as his legal team seeks a 90-day postponement or dismissal over alleged discovery process violations. The case involves accusations of diverting funds to conceal stories about marital infidelity and falsifying business records. Trump's lawyers claim that recently disclosed documents related to the investigation of his former fixer, Michael Cohen, contain exculpatory evidence. Prosecutors argue they complied with discovery law and blame Trump's team for delays. Legal experts suggest that dismissal is unlikely, with the likeliest outcome being another delay, which could be seen as a win for Trump's team.
