Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York scheduled to begin March 25 is postponed. "The trial in this matter is adjourned for 30 days from date," from March 14.

The New York State Supreme Criminal Court will meet in a preliminary hearing on March 25 to decide on a new date. This offers a new respite to the Republican candidate for the US presidential election in November, whose lawyers are seeking to delay as much as possible the opening of the four criminal trials in which their client is being prosecuted.
