"Prosecutors Open to Delaying Trump's Hush-Money Trial for Record Review"
Manhattan prosecutors are open to delaying Donald Trump's hush-money trial for up to 30 days to review newly produced records, which they believe contain materials related to the case. The trial, initially set for March 25, involves Trump pleading not guilty to falsification of business records related to hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors plan to introduce evidence of a "pressure campaign" by Trump to prevent his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, from cooperating with a federal investigation. Trump's attorneys sought a 90-day postponement, but prosecutors argue that a 30-day delay is sufficient and attribute the timing of the new record production to the defendant's own delay in subpoenaing additional materials.
