"Manhattan DA Urges Swift Progress in Trump Hush Money Trial"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Washington Post
Manhattan prosecutors defend delay in Donald Trump's hush money trial, stating that the recently disclosed evidence involving key witness Michael Cohen is largely immaterial or duplicative. Trump's defense team seeks penalties for the delayed evidence, but prosecutors dismiss their claims as baseless. The trial, originally set for Monday, has been delayed until at least mid-April for both sides to review the new evidence. The dispute revolves around documents related to Cohen's phones and interviews conducted by Robert Mueller, with disagreements between state and federal prosecutors over sharing information with Trump's legal team.
