Trump’s hush money trial will not be delayed because of publicity, judge rules
The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money criminal case rejected his bid to delay the scheduled trial due to pre-trial publicity. Trump argued that media coverage was biased against him and finding an impartial jury in Manhattan would be difficult. The judge ruled that an indefinite delay was not feasible, noting that Trump himself had contributed to the publicity surrounding his legal troubles. Prosecutors argued against a delay, stating that sufficient impartial jurors could be found through thorough questioning. Trump, who is running for president in an expected November election rematch, has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the hush money case.
