"Trump's New York Hush Money Trial Delayed to April Due to Last-Minute Evidence"

Former President Donald Trump's New York criminal trial has been delayed until mid-April to allow time for his review of new records related to the case.

Other cases against Trump are facing delays and legal challenges, with the Supreme Court set to hear arguments about his immunity from prosecution for events related to Jan. 6.

"Manhattan Prosecutors Seek Delay for Trump's Hush Money Trial"

Manhattan prosecutors have proposed a 30-day delay for Donald Trump's first criminal trial, citing the need to review a new batch of records obtained from federal prosecutors.

If approved, this delay would be the latest in Trump's legal battles, which include four criminal cases and civil lawsuits. The potential postponement could impact Trump's other cases and his political ambitions.

"Trump's Crucial Day in Court: Hearings in Manhattan and Georgia"

A New York judge is expected to rule on whether the Manhattan district attorney's case against Donald J.

NY Judge Rejects Trump's Request for Recusal in Hush Money Case

A New York state judge, Juan Merchan, has denied former President Donald Trump's request to recuse himself from the criminal case related to hush money payments. Trump had sought recusal due to the judge's daughter's work for Democratic organizations, the judge's oversight of the indictment and plea deal with Allen Weisselberg, and the judge's small donor donations to Democrats. Judge Merchan stated that recusal would not be in the public interest and that he is confident in his ability to be fair and impartial. Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records and is set to go to trial in March 2024.

Trump's legal battles continue with court appearances in multiple cases.

Former President Donald Trump is set to appear virtually in a New York criminal court for the first time since pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He will hear the terms of a protective order barring him from publicly disclosing evidence in the hush money payments case. Prosecutors argued the move was necessary to keep Trump from releasing confidential information in the case. Trump's lawyers argued the protective order was "extremely restrictive," but the judge ruled largely in the DA's favor. The case is expected to go to trial next year.

NY Judge Considers Limits on Trump's Publicizing of Evidence in Criminal Case

A New York judge will hear arguments over a proposed protective order in Donald Trump’s criminal case that would limit the former president’s ability to publicize information about the investigation. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is seeking to restrain Trump’s access to the evidence it turns over to his attorneys in the case, citing in part Trump’s social media posts about Bragg and potential witnesses. Trump’s attorneys oppose the DA’s proposal, arguing that the state should be just as restrained as Trump from what information it can discuss publicly. Prosecutors’ charges against Trump stem from Bragg’s investigation into hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign to women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump, who has denied the affairs.

Experts weigh in on the challenges of pursuing charges against Trump in NY.

Charges filed against Donald Trump in Manhattan are rarely pursued as the "top count" or only charge, and seldom result in a felony conviction, according to a report. The most common result in cases that include felony falsification of business records is a guilty plea to disorderly conduct. Trump faces 34 felony counts, each of which carries a maximum of four years in prison. The Manhattan DA filed 168 counts of felony falsification of business records against 34 defendants or companies, including against the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corp. Trump was indicted on the 34 counts for allegedly illegally reimbursing Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made ahead of the 2016 election.
