Judge denies 11th-hour request by Trump to delay start of his 'hush money' criminal trial

An appellate judge Monday denied an 11th hour request by former President Donald Trump seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case. Trump has made multiple attempts to push back the trial, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.

The trial has been delayed at the 11th hour once before, from March 25 to April 15, after Trump's lawyers complained that evidence related to the case was turned over late after they subpoenaed the federal Department of Justice for documents related to the case. Trump's lawyers blamed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for the issue, but Judge Juan Merchan concluded Bragg's office wasn't at fault.
