Donald Trump's first criminal trial was supposed to begin Monday. Instead, his lawyers will get the chance to argue for a lengthy postponement and even a dismissal of the charges.
Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business documentsThe judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's New York hush money case has delayed the start of the trial from its original March 25 start date, due to discovery issues raised by the defense.Instead, his lawyers will get the chance to argue for a lengthy postponement and even a dismissal of the charges.
Trump's lawyers say the new information is potentially exculpatory for the former president and they need at least 90 days to properly review the new material - a delay that fits with the former president's overall efforts to delay all four criminal trials he's facing until after the November election.
The bulk of the documents include records relied upon to obtain search warrants for Cohen's devices and homes, including bank records. The US attorney's office also turned over 30,000 pages related to documents seized from five iPhones and email accounts associated with Cohen. Trump's team alleged that the district attorney was trying to hide exculpatory evidence ahead of the trial, and that the US attorney's office only turned it over following a January subpoena from Trump's attorneys.
