"Trump Seeks Delay in NYC Trial Pending SCOTUS Immunity Ruling"

Former President Donald Trump is seeking to postpone his New York criminal trial on charges of falsifying business records to pay hush money to alleged mistresses by claiming immunity as a former president, a move that legal experts doubt will succeed. Trump argues that the Supreme Court should rule on his immunity claim before the trial begins, but experts say it would be difficult for him to argue that paying hush money was part of his official duties. The trial is scheduled to begin on March 25, and Trump's immunity claims are also being considered in his federal cases related to the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents.
