Trump's Trial in Limbo as New York Attorney General Presses On

The civil fraud trial between the New York attorney general's office and former President Donald Trump has been temporarily put on hold by an appellate court judge, pending a ruling by the lower court judge on a key issue regarding the statute of limitations. The trial, scheduled to begin on October 2, may be delayed depending on when the appellate court rules. Both sides have made pretrial motions, with Trump's lawyers seeking dismissal based on the statute of limitations argument. The judge's ruling on the statute of limitations at a hearing on September 22 could potentially resolve the issue before the appeals court.
