Trump's New York hush money case is set for trial April 15

The case was pushed back after a new trove of documents was made available to attorneys, requiring them to take time to determine which are relevant.NEW YORK — A New York judge has scheduled an April 15 trial date in former President Donald Trump's hush money case.

“That you don’t have a case right now is really disconcerting because the allegation that the defense makes in all of your papers is incredibly serious. Unbelievably serious,” Merchan said. “You’re accusing the Manhattan district attorney’s office and the people involved in this case of prosecutorial misconduct and of trying to make me complicit in it. And you don’t have a single cite to support that position.

“We’re not doing our jobs if we don’t independently review the materials,” Blanche said. “Every document is important.” The case centers on allegations that Trump falsely logged $130,000 in payments as legal fees in his company’s books “to disguise his and others’ criminal conduct,” as Bragg’s deputies put it in a court document.

The material hasn’t been made public. But Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that some of it is “exculpatory and favorable to the defense,” adding that there’s information that would have aided their own investigation and consequential legal filings earlier in the case.
