"Trump Requests Delay for New York Hush Money Trial Pending Supreme Court Decision on Immunity"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump seeks to delay his New York trial related to "hush money" payments until after the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity in another case. The trial is set for March 25, but Trump's attorneys argue that a delay is necessary to ensure proper adjudication of the immunity defense and prevent the use of evidence related to Trump's official acts. The case involves 34 felony counts of falsification of business records tied to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, to which Trump has pleaded not guilty.
