A New York appeals court judge denied Donald Trump's attempt to delay his hush money trial while seeking a change of venue, marking the rejection of his latest effort to avoid the historic trial.
Trump's lawyer argued for postponement, claiming potential bias in Manhattan due to political leanings, though the trial judge had already denied previous requests for moving or delaying the trial.
The Manhattan DA's office highlighted that the issue was about ensuring a fair juror selection process, blaming Trump for generating pretrial publicity through media interactions, potentially complicating impartiality.
Another challenge faced by Trump's legal team was a gag order barring comments, including those related to the judge's family. The appeals court planned to address this issue in a separate session.
