Prosecutors Open to Delaying Start of Trump's New York Trial

Prosecutors said Thursday they are open to delaying the start of Donald Trump’s New York hush-money criminal trial by a month “in an abundance of caution” to give the former president’s lawyers time to review evidence they only recently obtained from a previous federal investigation into the matter. The Manhattan district attorney’s office said in a court filing that it does not oppose adjourning the trial for 30 days, but said it would fight the defense’s demand for a longer delay.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan did not immediately rule. Jury selection is scheduled for March 25
