☆ Trump complains in latest hush-money delay bid that Manhattan already thinks he's guilty, and Michael Cohen keeps saying 'Donald von Shitsinpants'

This eleventh-hour effort to push back Trump's April 15 trial date is the latest of a half-dozen such requests since August. Bad polls, bad pressManhattan is not Trump country, the defense delay motion notes. AdvertisementPollsters surveyed a sample of 400 Manhattan residents, the delay motion says. Trump's motion implies that those sources were, or involved, Bragg, ignoring that the stories could have been sourced through multiple other individuals, including court staff, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses. Advertisement"President Trump cannot get a fair trial in Manhattan County right now," the delay motion concludes, asking for unspecified adjournment "until prejudicial press coverage abates."

CNN —A New York judge has imposed a gag order on Donald Trump, limiting the former president from making statements about potential witnesses in the criminal trial relating to hush money payments scheduled to begin next month. The order does not prevent Trump from talking about New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is a public figure, or Merchan himself. Trump criticized Merchan, his daughter and one of Bragg’s prosecutors in the hours before Merchan issued his order. The district attorney’s office had requested the gag order last month to remain in place for the duration of the trial. In the civil fraud case last fall, Trump was twice fined for violating Judge Arthur Engoron’s gag order and making comments about the judge’s staff.

An April 15 date has now been set for Trump's first criminal trial, his Manhattan hush-money case. At a pretrial hearing Monday, Trump watched as his lawyer asked for a long delay. "It's odd that we're even here," the judge told the lawyer, calling his delay bid unsupported. AdvertisementDonald Trump's lawyer asked a Manhattan judge on Monday to postpone his hush-money trial — but instead of a delay, the lawyer got a verbal drubbing. "The People went so far above and beyond what they were required to do that it's odd we're even here," Merchan told Blanche before calling a brief break in arguments.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump repeated some familiar baseless claims in remarks on Monday after major developments in two of his New York legal cases. Colangelo and Bragg knew each other before Bragg was elected Manhattan district attorney. The lawsuit emerged from an investigation she began in 2019, roughly two years before Biden succeeded Trump as president.

Trump's felony hush money trial had been scheduled to begin March 25 in Manhattan. Talk of delay was triggered by federal prosecutors producing 73,000 pages of long-awaited evidence. AdvertisementDonald Trump's felony hush money trial, long scheduled to begin March 25, may be delayed by a month or longer due to federal officials' last-minute production of 73,000 pages of evidence concerning their 2018 prosecution of Michael Cohen. The defense has only dragged its feet in seeking the same evidence, prosecutors said. The assistant prosecutor blamed the late, ongoing evidence dump — and the resulting need for a delay — on federal prosecutors and the Trump defense.

We got a preview of this unprecedented criminal trial mixed with a presidential campaign on Thursday at a key hearing in the New York criminal case. Claiming violent crime in cites, especially those run by Democrats, is one of Trump’s favorite talking points. The idea that violent crime is at an “all-time high” is completely untrue, as CNN’s Daniel Dale wrote last October. But the judge in Manhattan has filled Trump’s calendar at the end of March, when that federal trial could theoretically have taken place. But as The New York Times notes, despite the rising number of migrants in the city, violent crime has dropped.

Once Mr. Trump was elected, he reimbursed Mr. Cohen. Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors have accused Mr. Trump of falsifying business records to disguise the purpose of the reimbursements. Mr. Trump’s lawyers would have had to convince Judge Hellerstein, who sits in Manhattan, that the accusations were related in some way to Mr. Trump’s official duties as president. At one point, in a phrase that echoed Mr. Colangelo, the judge said of Mr. Cohen that “he was hired as a private matter to take care of private matters.”

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump urged a judge to deny a request by media outlets for cameras in a Manhattan courtroom where Trump is set to be arraigned on criminal charges Tuesday. "We submit that the media request should be denied because it will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump's presumption of innocence," Trump's lawyers said in their letter to Judge Juan Merchan. The letter was made public as Trump was flying from his home in Florida to New York City in anticipation of his court appearance. And Colangelo added that "even if cameras are not categorically barred," judges have the discretion to "control the conduct of judicial proceedings."

NY law limits the penalties Trump faces to $250K per tax count and $10K per crime.
