"Trump's Hush-Money Trial Delayed Again as Judge Grants Extension"
TL;DR
Delays in Donald Trump's criminal cases, including the hush-money trial, are increasing due to last-minute evidence dumps and immunity claims, potentially pushing the trials into the presidential election season. Trump's lawyers argue they need time to review over 100,000 pages of records from a federal probe into the hush-money issue, while Manhattan prosecutors claim most of the material is irrelevant. The delays raise uncertainty about trial dates and the potential impact on the election, with practical benefits for Trump if the trials are postponed.
