"Latest Developments in Trump's Hush Money Trial Delay"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's hush money trial, set to begin Monday, has been delayed due to the discovery of over 100,000 new documents related to the 2018 prosecution of his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Trump's lawyers are seeking a lengthy postponement and possible dismissal of the charges, arguing that the new information could be exculpatory. The trial, if it starts in April, would be the first of Trump's four criminal trials to begin and potentially the only one before the November election. The judge is holding a pre-trial hearing to discuss the document production issues, and the trial is expected to last six weeks.
