"Trump's Legal Maneuvers Fail as Judge Refuses Trial Delay"

A New York appeals court judge declined to postpone the April 15 trial in former President Donald Trump's hush money case, but will consider whether to relax a limited gag order as Trump has requested. The full panel of the appellate division will review three components that could affect the upcoming criminal trial, including a potential delay, change of venue, and the gag order. Trump's defense argues that the gag order prevents him from responding to attacks from expected trial witnesses and criticizing the prosecutor, while the prosecution is concerned about Trump's remarks potentially impacting trial witnesses. Jury selection for the trial is currently scheduled to begin on April 15 in New York City.
