New York judge in hush-money trial rejects Trump's request for delay until after SCOTUS rules on immunity

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial has rejected the former president’s bid for a delay until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his presidential immunity claims in another case. Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan deemed Trump’s request untimely, ruling that his lawyers had plenty of opportunities to raise the immunity issue before they finally did so in a March 7 court filing.

Lawyers for the presumptive Republican nominee had asked to adjourn the New York trial indefinitely until Trump's immunity claim in his Washington, D.C., election interference case is resolved. Merchan previously chided Trump's lawyers for missing a filing deadline, waiting more than two weeks before jury selection to raise the immunity issue and failing to 'explain the reason for the late filing.
