TL;DR Summary

A judge in New York has rejected former President Donald Trump's request to delay the start of his "hush money" trial until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his presidential immunity claim. The trial, related to a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, is set to begin on April 15. The judge deemed Trump's request "untimely" and raised questions about its sincerity, noting that Trump had multiple opportunities to raise the issue earlier. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsification of business records and has pleaded not guilty. He is also involved in other criminal cases in Florida, Washington, D.C., and Georgia.
