"Trump's Legal Maneuvers to Delay Hush Money Trial Under Fire"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump is seeking to delay the start of his New York criminal trial by suing the judge and requesting a change of venue, just one week before jury selection is set to begin. Trump's lawyers are also seeking a stay of the gag order that prevents him from publicly commenting on the case, including the judge's daughter's involvement with a Democrat-aligned consulting firm. This move comes after previous attempts to delay the trial and have the judge recused were unsuccessful.
