A New York appeals court judge has rejected Donald Trump's latest attempt to delay his hush money criminal trial, dismissing the argument that it should be postponed while the former president fights a gag order. This ruling further narrows any plausible path to delay the trial that Trump's legal team has repeatedly sought.
A New York appeals court judge Tuesday rejected Donald Trump ’s latest attempt to delay his hush money criminal trial, taking just 12 minutes to swat aside an argument that it should be postponed while the former president fights a gag order .
In New York, judges can be sued to challenge some decisions under a state law known as Article 78.Trump has used the tactic before, including against the judge in his recent New York civil fraud trial in an unsuccessful last-minute bid to delay that case last fall and again when that judge imposed a gag order barring trial participants from commenting publicly on court staffers. That order came after Trump smeared the judge’s principal law clerk in a social media post.
