The defense is seeking a delay due to 'huge amounts' of 'unfair media coverage.'

The Manhattan district attorney's office on Wednesday urged a judge to reject an attempt by former President Donald Trump to delay hisProsecutors argued that much of the publicity Trump's attorneys complained about is of his own making.

"efendant's own incessant rhetoric is generating significant publicity, and it would be perverse to reward defendant with an adjournment based on media attention he is actively seeking," assistant district attorney Matthew Colangelo wrote in response to Trump's motion.

"Defendant thus fails to demonstrate that the publicity surrounding this case is prejudicial at all, much less so inflammatory as to jeopardize the fundamental fairness of the trial," Colangelo said.This is Trump's eighth attempt to delay the start of the trial, which is set to begin April 15 with jury selection.

Trump Attempts to Delay Trial in Manhattan DA's CaseFormer President Donald Trump is seeking an adjournment in the trial against him, just weeks before it is set to begin. He is asking for a delay pending the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity in the federal election interference case. The judge should reject this attempt, as Trump had already waived this argument in the New York case and no theory of absolute presidential immunity would apply to the personal and political conduct at issue.
