The judge presiding over Trump's hush money trial approved a delay timeline favored by the district attorney.

Acting New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has sided with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the battle over delaying former President Donald Trump's felony hush money trial.Merchan ruled on Friday that the trial would be delayed by 30 days, a move that Bragg previously said he would support. Trump's legal team had requested that the trial be postponed by 90 days or dismissed.

Trump's team requested a longer delay or a dismissal over allegations that Bragg 'actively sought to prevent President Trump from obtaining critical materials to which he is entitled.' Bragg's office has released over 100,000 pages of documents to Trump's lawyers and argues that any difficulties experienced are 'a function of defendant's own delay.
