Trump,Trial,Delay

A judge has denied former President Donald Trump's request to delay his trial, citing overwhelming pretrial publicity as the reason.

Aaron Katersky and Peter CharalambousA judge has denied former President Donald Trump's last-minute attempt MondayJudge Lizbeth Gonzalez denied it without explanation in a one-sentence order.

"In terms of prejudicial pretrial publicity in this county, this case stands alone," defense attorney Emil Bove said, arguing there had not been a case with so much attention since the 1999 police killing of Amadou Diallo. "When bias against the defendant is this engrained, has taken root to this extent, voir dire cannot be trusted to clear that up," Bove said. "Jury selection cannot proceed in a fair manner next week in this county."

"The idea of transferring venue here is misguided," the prosecutor, Steven Wu, said. "The mere fact that they know about this case is not an indication of bias."
