NY Judge Pauses Trump's Hush Money Case Amid Legal Uncertainty

A New York judge has granted a request to pause Donald Trump's criminal hush money case following his recent election win. This decision delays the case until November 19, allowing the prosecution to assess the election's impact on the proceedings. Trump's conviction in May for falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels made him the first former U.S. president to be a convicted felon. The pause reflects ongoing legal challenges and the influence of the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity for official acts.

"Judge Denies Trump's Delay Request, Rejects Immunity Claims in Hush Money Trial"

A judge has rejected Donald Trump's request to delay his Manhattan criminal trial beyond April 15, despite his efforts to push back the trial and secure immunity from prosecution on charges related to his official acts as president. The judge ruled that the trial does not need to wait for the Supreme Court's decision on immunity and confirmed the April 15 start date, dismissing Trump's claims of prosecutorial misconduct. The case stems from a hush-money deal with Stormy Daniels, and Trump's attempts to delay the trial until after the Supreme Court's ruling have been unsuccessful.

"US Appeals Court Denies Trump Immunity in 2020 Election Subversion Case"

A federal appeals court ruled that Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes committed during his presidency, rejecting his arguments for immunity. The court emphasized the public interest in holding a potentially criminal president accountable and stated that the timing of the trial will be up to the Supreme Court. Trump criticized the ruling, claiming that a president must have full immunity to function properly. The court's scathing opinion described Trump's behavior as an "unprecedented assault" on the government, and the Trump campaign plans to appeal the decision.

Trump's Appeals in Federal Election Case Could Reach Supreme Court, Potentially Delaying Trial

Former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal against a judge's ruling that he is not immune from being charged with federal crimes related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The appeal could potentially delay his trial, impacting his ability to run for president in 2024. Trump's legal team argues for his immunity and claims that charging him violates the principle of double jeopardy. The timing of the appeal is crucial, as other trials are pending, and the courts will have to consider novel legal questions regarding a former president's indictment and prosecution. The outcome will determine whether Trump faces accountability at the ballot box or in a courtroom.
