Judge denies Trump’s request to postpone hush money trial
Judge Rejects Trump’s Attempt to Delay Hush Money Trial
Former President Donald Trump’s move to postpone the hush money trial against him hit a roadblock as Judge Juan Merchan stood firm on the April 15 trial commencement.
“We’re not doing our jobs if we don’t independently look at the new material,” Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche told Merchan.
Unwavering Decisions in Court
Despite Trump’s plea for more time citing document review, Judge Merchan doubted the necessity for delay. Prosecutors revealed that only a fraction of the documents was pertinent, challenging the defense’s assertions.

Legal Maneuvers
Although Merchan permitted the filing of a motion based on pre-trial concerns, the trial’s momentum remains unaffected. Trump’s claim of election interference came to light, echoing his stance on the case’s timing.
