As the Supreme Court weighs his promises of presidential immunity, the judge overseeing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s uncertain “hush money” circumstance against former president Donald Trump has rejected Trump’s request to postpone the April 15 test.
Legal professionals have repeatedly , poked holes , in the case against Trump brought forth by Bragg. The Manhattan D. A.  , used COVID- time policies , to increase the statute of limitations on an operational pay error, which is usually a misdemeanor. Bragg then , upgraded the charge , to a felony, citing a” conspiracy” to commit another crime. The various offense has never been addressed by Bragg.
He therefore copy/pasted the same cost 33 occasions, one for each administrative failure, and charged the former chairman with 37 offenses.
Trump had requested that the Supreme Court review his states of presidential immunity, so the trial date for April was postponed.
On Wednesday, Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan rejected the original president’s ask, referring to it as “untimely”.
Before March 7, 2024, the plaintiff had numerous opportunities to raise the issue of presidential immunity, according to Merchan. Plaintiff may have done so in his federal movements on September 29, 2023, which were filed just six weeks before he briefed the same subject in his Federal Insurrection Matter and several weeks after he filed his removal request to federal jury on May 4, 2023.
The federal prosecution against Special Counsel Jack Smith does not relate to “insurrection,” according to the law.
In his decision, Merchan stated that pre-trial movements are required to be filed within 45 weeks of the trial. In Bragg’s event, the former senator was detained in April. Additionally, Merchan claimed that Trump’s decision to report the action” a simple 17 days prior to the scheduled test deadline of March 25, 2024, raises true doubts about the motion’s honesty and true purpose.”
