"New York Appeals Court Denies Trump's Third Request to Delay Hush Money Trial"

A New York appeals court has rejected Donald Trump's third attempt to delay his hush money trial, clearing the way for jury selection to begin next Monday. Trump's lawyers argued for a delay, citing the need for him to be on the campaign trail and challenging the trial judge's rulings, but the judge swiftly rejected the request. The trial is the first of Trump's four criminal indictments and would be the first criminal trial of a former president. The case involves allegations of falsifying business records to hide payments to his former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, who helped suppress negative stories during Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied having a sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels.

"Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial for Supreme Court Ruling"

A judge rejected Donald Trump's request to delay his hush-money trial until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims he raised in another case, ruling it untimely and questioning the sincerity of the motion. Trump contends he is immune from prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office. The hush-money case involves allegations that Trump falsified his company’s records to hide payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, and the trial is scheduled to begin on April 15. Trump and his lawyers have been lobbying for delays, including arguing for the trial to be delayed indefinitely until prejudicial media coverage dissipates.

"Manhattan DA Delays Start of Trump's Hush Money Trial"

The Manhattan district attorney's office has requested a 30-day delay for the start of the hush money case against former president Donald Trump, citing newly disclosed evidence from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. Trump's attorneys had sought a 90-day postponement, but prosecutors said that wasn't necessary. The newly disclosed evidence relates to Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, and the defense has asked the judge to sanction the DA's office over the late disclosure of documents related to Cohen.

Trump's Lawyers Seek Delay in Classified Docs Trial Without Setting Date

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have requested a delay in the criminal trial over his alleged mishandling of classified documents until after the 2024 presidential election, arguing that starting the trial within six months of indictment would be unreasonable and result in a miscarriage of justice. Trump's defense team highlighted his campaign for the Republican nomination and the need for a fair jury selection during a presidential campaign as reasons for the delay. Trump faces 37 counts and has pleaded not guilty.

Trump's request for delay in E. Jean Carroll rape trial denied by judge.

A judge has denied former President Trump's request for a one-month delay in the civil trial over E. Jean Carroll's allegation that he raped her in a New York department store in the 1990s. The trial will begin as scheduled on April 25. Trump's lawyers argued that the delay was needed after he was indicted by a New York grand jury on felony charges of falsifying business records, but the judge rejected the argument, saying the criminal charges are "entirely unrelated" to the civil case and that Trump provoked much of the media coverage himself.

Trump denied delay in civil rape trial by judge.

A federal judge has denied former President Donald Trump's request for a four-week delay in the civil rape and defamation trial against him, which is scheduled to start on April 25. Trump's lawyer argued that his client should be allowed a "cooling off" period after his recent indictment by a Manhattan grand jury, but the judge rejected the request, stating that there is no justification for an adjournment. The lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll alleges that Trump raped her at a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s, which Trump has repeatedly denied.

Trump's attempts to delay trials fail in New York court.

A New York judge has refused to delay the $250 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump and his company, which is set to begin on October 2. Trump's legal team had requested more time to work on their defense against the fraud allegations brought by the New York attorney general's office. The judge denied the request, stating that the trial date is "written in stone." The attorney general's office criticized Trump's delaying tactics, and the judge allowed the Trump side to take 10 additional depositions they'd been seeking. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and maintains the suit is part of a partisan "witch hunt" against him.
