Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had supported the delay

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial agreed to delay the trial’s start date by 30 days after prosecutors received an influx of materials to review, just two weeks ahead of the trial’s initial start date.

Judge Juan Merchan wrote on Friday, 15 March that the trial would be postponed by 30 days, meaning it would begin in mid-April.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked the judge overseeing the criminal case on 14 March to delay the trial by as much as 30 days after the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) produced 31,000 pages of records the day prior. Prosecutors also noted on Friday that they are expecting an additional 15,000 pages of potential evidence.

Sentencing

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

For fucks sake he's really going to be president again isn't he?

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Yup, and then die in office. But he'll never see the inside of a jail cell unfortunately.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 50 points 2 years ago

You gotta vote. The courts won't save you. The ballot box will.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Even the ballot box may not be enough this time. They're gonna go nuclear on the election officials and attack the voting system. Definitely vote, but also be prepared for a shitshow regardless the outcome of the election

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Let them, Biden is in control of the National Guard this time. Trump can’t use his position to intentionally hamstring security.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah I'm sure the limp-dick democrats will never toss an election like in 2000 when Gore won.

Wait a minute......

[-] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The ballot box might.

Otherwise, there is another.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Liberals out here acting like the SC didn't already overthrow democracy and overturn the 2000 election after Jeb Bush's regime deleted tens of thousands of blacks from the Florida voter roll — George Bush won Florida by a few hundred votes.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

The Brooks Brothers Riot was also a coup, just like Jan 6. The difference is, it succeeded.

Also, the votes were eventually counted after the fact, and Gore actually won Florida.

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Would if I could but I'm on the other side of the great pond. I can only observe and hope for the best.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Hey guy, I think those Yanks are on fire. You don’t think that fire could spread all the way over here, do you?

[-] tym@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

To all the people worried about this: drumpf's attorneys wanted a 90 day delay. The DA is saying "I agree, let's give him a delay of 30 days"

It's actually a move to ensure this gets dealt with before November. Really encouraging tbh.

[-] 314xel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

So the evidence is just bullshit with a good timing?

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Planned timing?

[-] aniki@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago

This is on purpose. There are no good sides. Burn it all down now while you can or later when your family is inside the house.
