TL;DR Summary

A US judge has delayed Donald Trump's federal trial on charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, citing an appeal by the former president claiming immunity from prosecution for actions taken while in office. The trial, originally set for March 4, has been postponed, with the judge prohibiting prosecutors from filing motions during the appeal process and granting Trump's legal team a seven-month preparation period. Trump faces over 90 criminal charges in various jurisdictions, including subversion of the election, illegal retention of government secrets, and hush-money payments, as well as a separate order to pay damages to E Jean Carroll for defamation and sexual abuse allegations.
