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.

    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

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

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

        Wait a minute…
