Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

Donald Trump’s first criminal trial was supposed to start this coming Monday in New York state court. Instead, a hearing is scheduled to take place that day that could determine when the hush money trial will actually happen. A filing from Manhattan prosecutors ahead of the hearing gives reason to think that the case should go to trial next month — or not too long after.

Not only did Manhattan state prosecutors apparently seek what they could, when they could, from the feds, but the volume of recently disclosed material that’s relevant to the criminal case appears to be relatively minimal. At any rate, it would be a different story if state prosecutors had evidence in their possession that they had failed to turn over to the defense in timely fashion, but the U.S. Attorney’s Office is outside of the district attorney’s control.
