Prosecutors suggested a one-month delay in the upcoming hush money trial of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s first criminal trial threw a wrench into that schedule Thursday by suggesting a 30-day delay, responding to complaints from the former president’s lawyers that evidence had been unfairly withheld until the 11th hour.
Thursday’s events underscore the unpredictable ways Trump’s four pending criminal cases are playing out even as he prepares for an Election Day rematch with. Of the four, the New York case was the only one with a meaningful start date, and that suddenly appeared in doubt Thursday.Trump is expected to attend each day of any criminal trial once it begins, which could put significant constraints on the time he has for campaigning.
The offer of a month-long delay, she said, was an acknowledgment by prosecutors that the defense team’s workload had just increased. Trump’s defense lawyers have sought records from the federal prosecutors that they believe will show the weakness of Cohen as a witness and the prosecution case in general. Cohen was spotted at the district attorney’s office Wednesday.
