"Trump Seeks Trial Delay Pending Supreme Court's Immunity Ruling"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are seeking to delay his impending criminal trial in New York until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the scope of presidential immunity. The trial, scheduled to begin on March 25, involves 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump's legal team argues that he is immune from state prosecution based on "official acts" and wants the trial postponed until after the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity in a federal election interference case against him, which is set for April 25.
