Manhattan DA Bragg asks for delay to Trump’s hush money trial

The Alvin Bragg prosecution is the 'most flawed' and 'questionable': Jonathan Turley

Fox News contributors Jonathan Turley and Andy McCarthy discuss how former President Trump's legal issues are colliding with his 2024 campaign.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is pushing for a delay to the start of former President Trump’s New York hush-money criminal trial. 

In a Thursday court filing, the DA’s office said it was not opposed to adjourning the start of the trial for up to 30 days.

Trump’s lawyers are seeking a 90-day delay or the dismissal of charges against Trump, alleging violations of the "discovery process," whereby both sides exchange evidence. 

Trump’s legal team has also sought a delay to the trial until after the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim.

The judge in the hush-money case, Juan Manual Merchan, has yet to rule on either request.
