A New York appeals court rejected, for the third straight day, a last-ditch attempt by Donald Trump's lawyers to delay his hush money trial, set as the first criminal trial of a former US president.
Trump's lawyers argued that the trial should be put off indefinitely while they fight to remove the judge presiding in the case and challenge several of his rulings, emphasizing the trial's significance and historical importance.
Trump's lawyers argue that as the presumptive Republican nominee for president, he should be out on the campaign trail rather than in a courtroom defending himself, as the 2024 election with Joe Biden ramps up.
