Fox News
Donald's Trump's request to delay his hush money criminal trial has been denied, marking the third time this week his lawyers' attempts to delay the trial have failed.
Lawyers from the District Attorney's office and the court administration argued against a delay, calling Trump's arguments meritless. The court's attorney said Merchan does not stand to benefit from the outcome of the trial. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The former president's lawyers filed paperwork Wednesday asking the state's mid-level appeals court to intervene and to issue an order preventing jury selection from starting as scheduled. Paperwork related to Trump's latest appeal was sealed and no documents were publicly available.
