Trump's Legal Team Strategically Delays Criminal Proceedings

Former U.S. President Trump's criminal trial over hush money payment, in New York City

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has been utilizing various strategies to delay criminal proceedings against him in multiple cases across different jurisdictions.

In New York, Trump's lawyers attempted to postpone the trial in a criminal hush money case by filing several unsuccessful motions. One of these motions sought the recusal of the judge due to his daughter's political activities.

Meanwhile, in Washington, Trump's legal team successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to grant him complete immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency. This move has effectively halted all proceedings in the federal case related to Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Similarly, in Fulton County, Georgia, where Trump faces legal challenges based in Atlanta, his defense team has employed delay tactics. They have raised concerns about the relationship between District Attorney Fani Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade, arguing that this relationship should disqualify Willis from the case.

These delays have become a key aspect of Trump's legal strategy, with his lawyers consistently seeking to postpone proceedings and challenge the impartiality of judges and prosecutors involved in the cases against him.
