"Judge Denies Trump's Delay Request in Hush Money Trial Over Presidential Immunity"

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money case rejected his attempt to use presidential immunity as part of his defense, stating that Trump had waited too long to raise the issue. The judge also denied Trump's motion to delay the trial until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his immunity claims in a separate case. Trump's attorneys sought to keep out evidence related to his statements about key witnesses, but the judge ruled that Trump had been aware of the prosecution's intentions for months. The trial is scheduled to start on April 15, and the judge rejected the request to pause it pending the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's immunity arguments.
