The first criminal trial against a former US president is likely to be postponed by up to a month, after Manhattan prosecutors agreed to allow Donald Trump more time to review newly obtained documents pertinent to his hush money case in New York. If Judge Juan Merchan agrees, the trial scheduled to begin on March 25 could be delayed until the end of April. Trump’s legal team has been successful in prolonging the case with procedural tactics. The hush money trial is the only one among the four criminal indictments against Trump set to proceed to trial before the November presidential election, potentially impacting his campaign. The case involves alleged payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her about an affair with Trump. Key witness Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, is expected to testify for the prosecution. Trump’s team requested additional documents from federal prosecutors, resulting in the postponement consideration. Bragg’s office received a substantial volume of records this week, prompting the possible trial delay. Legal teams are yet to comment on the matter, while the US attorney’s office in New York declined to provide a statement.
