"Judge Denies Trump's Delay Request in Hush Money Trial"
TL;DR
A New York judge denied Donald Trump's request to delay his hush money trial until the U.S. Supreme Court reviews his claim to presidential immunity in a separate criminal case related to overturning the 2020 election results. The judge stated that Trump had waited too long to raise the issue. Trump faces charges of falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. The trial is set for April 15, and Trump's defense also seeks a delay due to extensive news coverage affecting potential jurors' perceptions of his guilt.
