Trump fails to delay New York hush money trial

Former President Trump’s lawyers failed Thursday to delay his first criminal trial, spoiling Trump’s goal to delay his various prosecutions until after he has a shot at returning to the White House in November’s election. A New York judge set Trump’s hush money trial to begin with jury selection on March 25 after the judge rejected the former president’s bid to toss the case or delay the timeline. During a hearing that turned fiery at times, Trump’s lawyers condemned the schedule, claiming it amounts to election interference and impedes Trump’s ability to campaign in the remainder of the primary season.
