"Inside the Trump Hush Money Trial: Jury Selection and Scramble for Jurors"

With less than a week until Donald Trump's criminal trial, his legal team's attempts to delay the proceedings have been largely unsuccessful, as last-minute lawsuits and requests have been swiftly rejected by judges. Trump's team continues to push for delays, hoping to push the trials past the November election, but their options are running out. Meanwhile, the special counsel has expressed frustration with a Trump-appointed judge's willingness to entertain flawed legal premises, and Trump's social media company has lost one-third of its value on the stock market. The New York hush-money trial is set to begin on April 15, with the US supreme court scheduled to hear oral arguments for Trump's claim of presidential immunity on April 25.

"Judge Denies Trump's Attempt to Delay Criminal Trial Over Hush Money Payments"

Donald Trump's latest attempt to delay his Manhattan prosecution for falsifying business records in connection to the 2016 election interference scandal is being criticized as weak and desperate. His motion to delay the trial is based on a fabricated argument of presidential immunity, which legal experts deem as lacking merit. Trump's failure to meet the court's deadline for submitting pretrial motions and his apparent desperation to avoid criminal accountability are evident. The nation awaits the Supreme Court's decision on whether to grant Trump's request for delay, with hopes that his plea will fail to garner enough votes and the trial will proceed as scheduled on March 25.

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.

"Special Counsel and Judge Unite Against Trump's Delay Tactics and Defense Strategies"

Federal prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith's team express frustration with Donald Trump's delay tactics, accusing him of trying to manipulate the court. Trump's lawyers argued that they couldn't simultaneously work on two trials, one in Florida and one in D.C., both being prosecuted by Smith's team.

Trump's attorneys have repeatedly sought to delay trial dates, with their latest effort likely facing challenges. Smith's prosecutors urge the court not to delay the Florida trial based on the potential delay in the D.C. trial.

Trump's Trial Delay Tactics: A Strategic Defense Move

Former President Donald Trump's defense lawyers are employing delay tactics in his criminal case, requesting a trial date be postponed indefinitely. They argue that the case requires careful review of the procedures leading to the indictment and claim that jury selection during a presidential campaign would be biased. The defense also highlights the potential delays caused by handling classified documents and obtaining security clearances. These tactics, reminiscent of renowned criminal defense attorney Douglas Rankin, aim to push the trial into the presidential election period, where Trump could potentially dismiss the case or seek a self-pardon.

The Intersection of Trump's Legal Troubles and Future Political Ambitions

Donald Trump's criminal case in New York, where he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records, is expected to collide with his 2024 presidential campaign due to the slow-moving New York court system and Trump's tendency to push for delays in legal matters. Trump's lawyers have until August to file challenges to the case, and analysts expect them to take every tactic to delay the trial. The case could also be further delayed by ongoing investigations in Washington and Georgia into Trump's handling of classified material and his efforts to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 election.
