These tactics by defendant and defense counsel should be stopped," the DA's filing said, referring to Trump's attempts to further delay or derail the trial. In its filing Thursday, the DA's office called their arguments "a red herring." Federal prosecutors alleged Cohen paid the women off "in coordination with and at the direction of" Trump, who was not charged in the federal case. The former president has pleaded not guilty in the DA's case. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Monday, when the judge could set a new trial date.

Trump's New York hush-money trial is now back on track for mid-April. The delay will give Merchan, prosecutors, and defense lawyers time to contend with late evidence. AdvertisementThe Manhattan judge who will preside over Donald Trump's first criminal trial agreed on Friday to push back the original March 25 trial start date by about three weeks. Related storiesBoth sides — the defense and Manhattan prosecutors — are blaming each other for the delay, though prosecutors also blame the US Attorney's Office for what they describe as unneccessary footdragging. The trial, which is expected to last six weeks, could now run from mid-April until just after Memorial Day, given the judge's previous plan to give jurors the fourth week of April off.

light of the distinctive circumstances described below, the People do not oppose a brief adjournment of up to 30 days to permit sufficient time for defendant to review the USAO productions. Yesterday afternoon, however, the USAO produced approximately 31,000 pages of additional records to both the People and the defense in response to defendant's subpoena, and also indicated that an additional production would follow by next week. We note that the timing of the current production of additional materials from the USAO is a function of defendant's own delay. In response, the USAO produced a subset of the materials we requested, which we timely and fully disclosed to defendant on June 8, 2023, more than nine months ago. Despite having access to those materials since June, defendant raised no concerns to the People about the sufficiency of our efforts to obtain materials from the USAO before last week; instead, defendant waited until January 18, 2
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.

Prosecutors have asked the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's upcoming criminal trial in Manhattan to gag him, arguing he can't control himself from inciting his followers to attack witnesses, jurors, and court staff. Under the gag order, Trump would additionally be forbidden from attacking jurors, staff members at the DA's office and the court, and the employees' families. The attacks triggered waves of antisemitic and sexist threats, and an appeals court upheld the gag order that Engoron imposed. Trump could not be trusted with moderating his own comments unless the judge issued a gag order, prosecutors wrote.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office on Monday asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump ahead of his upcoming trial on charges of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to a porn star. Prosecutors want Trump barred from making public comments about witnesses jurors, trial prosecutors, members of the court staff, and any relatives of lawyers and court staff involved in the case. They also want him barred from directing others to make public statements any prospective juror or jurors in the trial. "And the need for such protection is compelling," Bragg's office said in its request, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. Trump would be allowed to make public statements about Bragg under the proosed gag order.

These accusations have taken center stage in Trump's criminal prosecution, with Roman's team issuing subpoenas to Wade, Willis, and half a dozen witnesses who have worked with them. The center of Thursday's hearing will be whether either prosecutor has a conflict of interest in the case. Roman's attorneys must prove that Willis acquired a personal interest or stake in the defendant's conviction — and that it is "actual conflict" and not simply speculative. Her lawyers have written that no financial or personal conflict of interest justifies disqualification — and pointed to two ongoing relationships between defense attorneys in the case. Attorneys for Willis and Wade asked McAfee to keep them both off the witness stand on Thursday.

A federal judge on Thursday denied Trump White House official Peter Navarro's bid to remain out of prison while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The former White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump had asked to be free while he fights that conviction and sentence in higher courts. The judge said Navarro hasn't shown that any of the issues he will raise on appeal are "substantial" questions of law. Former White House adviser Steve Bannon previously received a four-month sentence but is free pending appeal. The House committee spent 18 months investigating the insurrection, interviewing over 1,000 witnesses, holding 10 hearings and obtaining more than 1 million pages of documents.

By Jonathan Stempel(Reuters) - A Virginia doctor who prescribed more than 500,000 opioid doses in less than two years had his conviction and 40-year prison sentence thrown out by a federal appeals court on Friday, because the jury instructions misstated the law. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia also ordered a new trial for Joel Smithers, 41, who has been serving his sentence in an Atlanta prison. Overprescription of painkillers is one of the main causes of the nation's opioid crisis. Prosecutors said Smithers prescribed controlled substances including fentanyl, hydromorphone, oxycodone and oxymorphone to every patient he saw at the Martinsville, Virginia office he opened in August 2015.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends a Manhattan courthouse trial in a civil fraud case in New York, U.S., October 18, 2023. The case in Washington federal court is one of four criminal prosecutions facing Trump as he seeks to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Trump continues to argue that his 2020 loss to Biden was the result of widespread fraud, a false claim that was rejected by multiple courts, state reviews and members of Trump's own administration. Trump is scheduled to stand trial beginning in March on charges that he interfered in the counting of votes and sought to block Congress’ certification of the 2020 election. Prosecutors have accused Trump of spreading “destabilizing lies” about widespread voter fraud to sow distrust in the election.

Jack Smith plans to use Trump's tweets, from as far back as 2012, in his 2020 election trial. The tweets show Trump's "plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results," a court filing alleges. AdvertisementWhen Trump launched his own campaign in the 2016 election, he repeatedly claimed that there would be widespread voter fraud. Prosecutors highlighted an October 2016 tweet — approximately two weeks before Election Day — in which Trump said, "there is large scale fraud happening on and before election day. The feds argue in the new filing that these tweets demonstrate Trump's "common plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like, as well as his motive, intent, and plan to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results and illegitimately retain power."

Frank Rocco Giustino pleaded guilty in February to a misdemeanor charge related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg told Giustino that he seemed to have no remorse for his conduct on Jan. 6 or any respect for the court's authority. I think the U.S. marshal should come after you, not me,” Giustino told the judge, punctuating his rant with expletives directed at a prosecutor. Giustino pleaded guilty in February to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of six months of incarceration. Nearly 900 of them have pleaded guilty or been convicted by juries or judges after trials.
