"Trump Requests Trial Delay as Supreme Court Considers Immunity Claim"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a delay in his New York hush-money trial until the Supreme Court decides on his immunity to prosecution for actions taken while in office. The defense argues that a favorable ruling would impact the evidence presented to the jury, particularly regarding actions taken during his presidency. Trump had previously pleaded not guilty to falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, with the trial scheduled to begin on March 25.
