Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had supported the delay
The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial agreed to delay the trial’s start date by 30 days after prosecutors received an influx of materials to review, just two weeks ahead of the trial’s initial start date.
Judge Juan Merchan wrote on Friday, 15 March that the trial would be postponed by 30 days, meaning it would begin in mid-April.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked the judge overseeing the criminal case on 14 March to delay the trial by as much as 30 days after the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) produced 31,000 pages of records the day prior. Prosecutors also noted on Friday that they are expecting an additional 15,000 pages of potential evidence.

SentencingOther grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.
For fucks sake he’s really going to be president again isn’t he?
Yup, and then die in office. But he’ll never see the inside of a jail cell unfortunately.
To all the people worried about this: drumpf’s attorneys wanted a 90 day delay. The DA is saying “I agree, let’s give him a delay of 30 days”
It’s actually a move to ensure this gets dealt with before November. Really encouraging tbh.
So the evidence is just bullshit with a good timing?
Planned timing?
This is on purpose. There are no good sides. Burn it all down now while you can or later when your family is inside the house.
