Trump argues one-month New York trial delay is ‘not sufficient’

Attorneys for Donald Trump told a judge in New York on Friday that they would need more than a 30-day trial delay in the former president’s hush money case to review tens of thousands of discovery documents they received this month.

They asked Judge Juan Merchan to schedule a hearing, instead of set a new trial date, so that parties in the case can review what Trump’s defense team says were discovery violations by Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, according to a court filing. The trial is currently scheduled to begin on March 25.
