☆ Trump loses bid to delay hush money trial while he fights gag order
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-09 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

A New York appeals judge on Tuesday knocked down yet another long-shot bid by Donald Trump to delay his criminal hush money trial, this time by seeking a pause while he challenges his court-imposed gag order. The swift rejection marked Trump's second failed attempt in less than 24 hours to postpone the Manhattan Supreme Court trial, which is set to begin jury selection in six days. The gag order bars Trump from speaking about likely witnesses in the case, and from making certain statements about other related figures including lawyers, court staff and their respective family members. Presiding Judge Juan Merchan last week expanded the gag order to stop Trump from targeting the family members of the judge and the D.A. Those witnesses are publicly attacking Trump and he is unable to respond, Bove told the judge, according to NBC.

Yet when Bragg walked quietly onto the stage, it took a second or two for the audience to realize he was there. In his dark blue suit and dark-rimmed glasses, he blended into the dark blue curtains behind the lectern. He was flanked by poster boards with flow charts, but that was as far as the showmanship went. But Bragg studiously avoided mentioning sex or hush money during the 13-minute event, focusing instead on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up the payment. Bragg looked frequently at his notes while he spoke, mostly in a monotone.

Jurors will still be asked if they have donated to either party or ever attended a rally or campaign event for Trump. And they'll be asked, "Do you have any feelings or opinions about how Mr. Trump is being treated in this case?" If they answer yes, they will not be asked to elaborate — only whether they can set their feelings aside and remain impartial.

☆ Trump loses last-minute bid to halt hush money trial while he seeks new venue

A New York appeals court judge on Monday swiftly rejected a last-ditch bid by Donald Trump to delay his upcoming criminal hush money trial while he seeks to move the case to another court. Trump has frequently targeted both groups in the run-up to the Manhattan Supreme Court trial, which is set to begin jury selection next week. At a hearing Monday afternoon, defense attorney Emil Bove urged appellate Judge Lizbeth Gonzalez to delay the hush money trial, according to NBC. Wu added that Trump, who regularly rails against the case on social media and the campaign trail, is responsible for the media frenzy. He cannot drum up a media circus and then use that publicity to seek a change of trial venue, Wu told Gonzalez.

In just one week, Donald J. Trump will go on trial in Manhattan — the first former U.S. president to be criminally prosecuted. The trial, which will begin with jury selection and last up to two months, will oscillate between salacious testimony on sex scandals and granular detail about corporate documents. Mr. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, all of which are tied to the former president’s role in a hush-money payment to a porn star, Stormy Daniels. But that payoff is not the only hush-money deal that prosecutors plan to highlight. The prosecutors, from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, have accused Mr. Trump of orchestrating a broader scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election by purchasing damaging stories about him to keep them under wraps.

Donald Trump on Saturday said he welcomed the prospect of going to jail for violating a gag order in his upcoming New York hush money trial. And last week, Trump took to Truth Social to share a message that likened his legal troubles to the persecution of Jesus Christ. That first gag order came in response to Trump's repeated calls for the judge to recuse himself. One day after the first gag order was imposed on March 26, Trump went after Merchan's daughter on social media. Under the expanded order, Trump can still criticize Merchan and Bragg individually.

☆ Trump to be deposed in dispute with media company co-founders

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to be deposed later this month by lawyers for co-founders of his social media company as part of a dispute over ownership in Trump Media & Technology Group which went public last week. They said in 2021 they were pledged 8.6% of pre-merger Trump Media stock for helping to launch the company. Trump Media sued Litinsky and Moss in Florida on March 24, and is seeking to strip them of their stock, which it said they failed to earn due to mismanagement. Trump owned 90% of the social media company prior to its merger last month with a blank check firm that took the company public. In midday trade on Thursday, Trump Media was down 4.2% at $46.70, valuing the company at more than $6 billion.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg urged a judge to reject an eleventh-hour bid by Donald Trump to delay his upcoming criminal hush money trial due to biased media coverage. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is also wrong to claim that the deluge of publicity means he can't get a fair jury, the D.A. Trump last month asked for a "significant" delay of the trial — which is set to begin jury selection on April 15 — until the publicity surrounding it "subsides." That request marked Trump's eighth attempt to push back the start of the trial, Bragg noted in his filing Wednesday.

A judge on Wednesday rejected a last-ditch effort by former president Donald Trump to delay his hush money trial scheduled to begin in New York on April 15. Merchan, in shooting down that request, said Trump had "myriad opportunities" to make an argument that he was immune in the hush money case before March 7, when his attorneys first raised that claim. "Defendant's motion is DENIED as untimely," Merchan wrote in his decision issued in Manhattan Supreme Court, which is a trial-level court. Trump is charged in the case with falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election. in his ruling, Merchan wrote that Trump's lawyers "fail to explain why Defendant waited long past" a statutory deadline of 45 days before trial to make a pre-trial motion seeking a delay.

Donald Trump's "extreme and deliberate provocations" in his hush money trial are aimed to undermine the case, the Manhattan district attorney said Monday as he urged a judge to strengthen a gag order on the former president. Alvin Bragg said in a blistering filing in New York Supreme Court. Bragg's request came after Trump, in numerous social media posts, targeted Judge Juan Merchan's adult daughter over her work for a Democratic political firm. Merchan last week imposed a gag order that bars Trump from speaking about likely witnesses and other figures, but does not explicitly prohibit criticism of the judge or his family. Bragg's office asked the judge on Thursday to "clarify or confirm" that the order protects the court's family.

Attorneys for Donald Trump have asked a judge for a "significant" delay of his fast-approaching criminal hush money trial, arguing the Republican presidential nominee cannot get a fair jury due to "prejudicial pretrial publicity." The trial on charges of falsifying business records must adjourn until that press coverage "abates," Trump's lawyers wrote last week in a filing in New York Supreme Court. Those posts came after Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order barring Trump from speaking about likely witnesses and other figures involved in the case. Trump in a slew of recent Truth Social posts has called for Merchan's recusal from the case, accusing him of political bias. But in their court filing requesting a trial delay, Trump's lawyers argued that it was the press, not the former president, tainting the jury pool.

If you’re not having sex like porn stars, you’re not having good sex. One of the most pernicious myths is that sexual desire is “an electric spark of wanting” that happens naturally and instantaneously. There’s no such thing as normal when it comes to sex, and there’s more than one way of experiencing sexual desire. Even though I’m reading and writing and thinking and talking about sex all the time, I end up with no interest in actually having sex. When you talk to people who have great sex lives, they don’t talk about desire.
