"Trump's Failed Attempts to Delay Hush-Money Trial"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's attempts to delay his New York criminal trial have been unsuccessful, with his latest request for an immediate stay being promptly denied by Justice Ellen Gesmer. Trump's lawyers were arguing for a delay based on their campaign to remove Judge Juan Merchan, but their efforts have been consistently rejected. The trial is set to begin on April 15, and Trump faces accusations of falsifying business records to cover up an affair with Stormy Daniels. Despite ongoing legal battles, it's possible that the New York case will be the only one Trump faces before the upcoming presidential election.
