Manhattan DA Bragg asks for delay to Trump’s hush money trial

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is pushing for a delay to the start of former President Trump’s New York hush-money criminal trial. 

In a Thursday court filing, the DA’s office said it was not opposed to adjourning the start of the trial for up to 30 days. 

Trump’s lawyers are seeking a 90-day delay or the dismissal of charges against Trump, alleging violations of the “discovery process,” whereby both sides exchange evidence. 

Trump’s legal team has also sought a delay to the trial until after the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim. 

The judge in the hush-money case, Juan Manual Merchan, has yet to rule on either request.
