Appeals Judge Rejects Trump's Request to Delay Hush Money Trial

A New York appeals court judge, Lizbeth Gonzalez, has denied Donald Trump's request to delay his April 15 hush money criminal trial. The decision was made during a hearing at the Appellate Division in Manhattan on Monday, a week before jury selection was scheduled to begin. Trump's legal team, represented by Emil Bove, argued for a stay of the case while they applied to move the trial out of Manhattan due to potential prejudice against Trump in the heavily Democratic area. The ruling comes after Trump expressed his intention to sue the judge in the case.
