TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump's attorneys are seeking to delay his upcoming New York criminal trial related to hush money payments until the US Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity, which may not happen until late June. Trump faces 34 counts of falsified business records for reimbursements made to his former attorney Michael Cohen, who issued hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Trump's legal team argues that certain evidence, including public statements and Twitter posts made by Trump while he was president, should be excluded due to presidential immunity. They have requested an evidentiary hearing after the Supreme Court ruling to determine what evidence of Trump's "official acts" should be precluded based on presidential immunity.
