For the third straight day, a New York appeals court rejected an attempt by Donald Trump's lawyers to delay the former president's hush money criminal trial. Barring yet another appeal, the first of Trump's four criminal trials will start as scheduled on Monday.
Trump's lawyers had asked the state's mid-level appeals court to halt the case indefinitely while they fight to remove the trial judge and challenge several of his pretrial rulings, which they argue have seriously hindered the former president's defense. Trump lawyer Emil Bove argued at an emergency hearing that the trial is incredibly important and must be done right.
