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.

A New York appeals court judge declined to postpone the April 15 trial in former President Donald Trump's hush money case, but will consider whether to relax a limited gag order as Trump has requested. The full panel of the appellate division will review three components that could affect the upcoming criminal trial, including a potential delay, change of venue, and the gag order. Trump's defense argues that the gag order prevents him from responding to attacks from expected trial witnesses and criticizing the prosecutor, while the prosecution is concerned about Trump's remarks potentially impacting trial witnesses. Jury selection for the trial is currently scheduled to begin on April 15 in New York City.

Former President Donald Trump's attempt to delay his hush-money trial in Manhattan was swiftly rejected by a New York appeals court judge in a single sentence, denying his application for a stay of trial pending a change of venue. The trial, related to alleged hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, is set to begin on April 15, and Trump's legal team is preparing to sue the judge overseeing the case in an attempt to overturn a gag order and recuse him, while also facing another case in Florida.

Donald Trump's legal team has filed an appeal to change the venue of his upcoming hush money trial and pause a gag order, just a week before jury selection is set to begin in the Manhattan Supreme Court trial. The appeal aims to move the trial and stay the gag order, which prohibits Trump from speaking about likely witnesses or the judge's family. The Manhattan District Attorney has urged the judge to reject Trump's request for recusal, calling it a bad-faith effort to delay the trial and sidestep the gag order. This comes after the judge expanded the gag order to prohibit Trump from making statements about the judge's and the prosecutor's family members.

A New York appeals court has given Donald Trump 10 more days to post a $175 million bond as he appeals a civil fraud judgment against him, reducing the amount from over $500 million. This ruling delays the prospect of New York Attorney General Letitia James seizing Trump's property to enforce the judgment. Trump had been struggling to come up with the means to post the original bond amount. The order also stayed the enforcement of several penalties, allowing Trump and his sons to continue running a business in New York and obtaining loans from New York financial institutions for now.

Donald Trump has asked a New York appeals court to allow him to post a $100 million bond to temporarily pause the $454 million judgment he faces in his civil fraud case, indicating that he lacks the funds to cover the full amount. His appeal seeks to halt enforcement of the financial penalty and other punishments, including a ban on obtaining a loan from a New York bank for three years. If granted, the pause would be temporary, and Trump would still need to persuade a larger panel of appellate judges to keep the judgment on hold.

A New York appeals court has reinstated a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his $250 million civil business fraud trial. The order prohibits Trump from making public statements about the staff of the judge presiding over the trial. The gag order was initially imposed after Trump and his attorneys targeted the judge's principal law clerk. Trump's attorneys argued against the reimposition of the gag order, claiming it violated his constitutional rights. The ruling comes after Trump repeatedly attacked the judge and the New York Attorney General, who brought the case against him. The trial will determine penalties and address other claims of wrongdoing.

Former President Donald Trump is requesting a New York appeals court to halt the civil fraud trial and put the underlying ruling on hold, following Judge Arthur Engoron's summary judgment order that found Trump liable for fraud. Trump's lawyers argue that the ruling will cause severe harm to innocent nonparties and employees. The New York Attorney General's office opposes the request, stating that it aims to disrupt an ongoing trial. The attorney general's office also criticizes Trump's team for filing the stay request after Trump stopped attending the trial. Trump's attorneys have agreed to drop a lawsuit they filed against Engoron and the New York attorney general.
