Another delay has been requested by Trump in New York, where prosecutors are considering pushing back the start of his hush money trial by up to 30 days. This trial was significant as it was set to be the first to take place before the election. Originally scheduled to begin in less than two weeks, the start date is now uncertain due to prosecutors granting Trump's team more time to review new records from federal prosecutors.
Trump's calendar was filled with court dates, raising concerns about managing them while participating in the primaries. However, with the primaries ending quickly, the focus shifted to the hush money trial, potentially delayed until the end of April. The federal January 6th case is on hold until after Supreme Court oral arguments scheduled for April 22nd, with expectations that the trial may not commence until summer.
Similarly, the Georgia election interference case, set for August 5th, faces uncertainty as the judge deliberates on the involvement of DA Fannie Willis. The start date for the classified documents case remains unknown, with Trump advocating for a post-election commencement.
The delays could work in Trump's favor if he wins the election, as he expressed a desire for postponements while campaigning. The district attorney has indicated a potential 30-day delay in the hush money trial, following the receipt of 31,000 pages of documents from the Justice Department requested by the defense. Additional documents are expected, prompting discussions on the duration of the trial delay, ranging from 30 to 90 days.
