"Judge to Set Trial Start Date for Trump's Hush Money Case Amid Delays"
Judge Juan Merchan is expected to set a trial start date in the New York hush money case against former President Donald Trump at a hearing on Monday, following a 30-day delay. The Manhattan District Attorney's office urged the judge not to delay the trial further, citing the relevance of documents provided by federal prosecutors. Trump's lawyers blamed the DA's office for the delay and requested dismissal of the charges, while the DA's office called the focus on document release a "red herring." The case alleges that Trump falsified business records in connection to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, and Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
