Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush Money Trial, Citing Public Interest
  • 17 days ago
A New York appellate judge denied former President Donald Trump's latest attempt to delay his upcoming criminal trial on hush money charges. Trump's lawyers asked the court for an emergency stay so he could appeal issues around presidential immunity and the judge's refusal to recuse himself. The judge denied the request within minutes, saying there was a public interest in ensuring the trial proceeds as scheduled on Monday. Trump can still appeal the rulings to New York's highest court but that body is not obligated to take the case.
