Trump's Trial Tactics: A Rocky Road to Delay Justice

Former President Donald Trump's attempts to delay his upcoming trials are backfiring as judges refuse to accommodate his scheduling conflicts. Prosecutors have accused Trump's defense lawyers of playing delay games and overbooking his top defense lawyer across multiple cases. The New York judge overseeing the hush money trial involving Stormy Daniels rejected Trump's request to push back the trial date and ordered both sides to stick to the original plan. Trump's legal team has been trying to gain insight into private conversations between judges, but the judge ruled that no further disclosure is required. Prosecutors argue that Trump's team is intentionally delaying trial dates and point to the inconvenience of the New York trial coinciding with Trump's potential presidential campaign in 2024. Judges are growing impatient with these delay tactics and are pushing for the trials to proceed as scheduled.
