"Manhattan DA Urges Prompt Start to Trump's Hush Money Trial Amid Filing Backlash"
New York prosecutors are urging a judge to start Donald Trump's hush money trial on April 15, dismissing the defense's calls for further delays or dismissal due to a last-minute evidence dump. The prosecutors argue that the majority of the evidence provided to Trump's lawyers is immaterial or duplicative, and they oppose further postponement of the trial. Trump's lawyers have sought a 90-day delay and also asked for the case to be dismissed, alleging prosecutorial misconduct. The trial was postponed until mid-April, and a hearing will be held to assess the late evidence's impact. Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, is expected to testify against him as a key prosecution witness.
