Judge of New York postponed yesterday Friday, in principle as the middle of Aprilthe historical criminal trial Donald’s Trumpscheduled to begin on March 25, in the case of hidden payments to buy the silence of a pornographic actor Stormy Danielsgiving the Republican candidate for the presidency of the USA new breaks.

The former US president (2017-2021), who is hoping to be re-elected Novemberwhen he will face the outgoing Joe Biden, has been seeking for months to delay the start of the four criminal trials before him as long as possible.

In the case of the payments to Daniels, with whom Mr. Trump had an extramarital affair in 2006, “the proceedings are adjourned for 30 days” from March 14, a Manhattan judge ruled.

On Thursday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg gave the green light to postpone the hearing for 30 days.

Which means that the unprecedented criminal trial, in which Mr. Trump could be convicted of imprisonmentwill begin in mid-April.

“We will continue the fight to end this false case,” said a representative of the 77-year-old real estate magnate.

Donald Trump’s lawyers had asked for a 90-day delay until the Supreme Court rules on the former president’s criminal immunity.

The entrepreneur characterizes “scam” his prosecution of the payments to Stormy Daniels and denies that he had a relationship with the woman, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.

It is accused that falsified Trump Organization documents to hide $130,000 payment in Clifford before the November 2016 presidential election, which he won.

They burden him in this case 34 charges, which carry a prison sentence of up to 4 years.

Mr. Trump has filed multiple appeals and objections in all four criminal trials before him in the hope that he will not be tried before the Nov. 5 election.

He was thus able to secure a postponement of a trial in federal court in Washington that was set to begin on March 4 in his attempt to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election. That trial has been postponed until the Supreme Court rules on the issue of his potential immunity — something which is not expected before June or July.

While his trial in the case of the handling of secrets, originally scheduled to begin on May 20, is expected to be postponed for several months.

In Georgia, in his trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election result, a prosecutor’s exemption request was denied yesterday, but a reorganization of his team was requested. The ruling clears up significant trade for the conduct of this trial, for which a timetable has not yet been set.
