CNN —The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in Manhattan has agreed to delay its start, injecting more uncertainty into the legal calendar for the former president.
A new trial date is yet to be determined, but is not likely before mid-April.
The court will set the new trial date, if necessary, when it rules on Defendants motion following the hearing,” the judge added.
Trump’s attorneys had asked to delay the trial by 90 days – or dismiss the case entirely – over recent records productions in the last 10 days from federal prosecutors.
The district attorney’s office blamed Trump’s team for the late production of material, noting that it did not subpoena the US attorney’s office until January.
