The first trial of one of the four criminal trials in which former US President Donald Trump is being indicted, scheduled for March 25th, has been postponed.
The first trial of Mr. Trump's criminal trial has been postponed one after another, and attention is focused on how it will affect the fall presidential election.
Former President Trump was indicted on charges of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments related to his affair before the 2016 presidential election.
Prosecutors say the act was an attempt to hide information that would be detrimental to the election, but Trump maintains his innocence.
The first trial in this case was scheduled for March 25th, but a New York state court judge announced on the 15th that the first trial would be postponed due to additional evidence being submitted.
They say it will be delayed for 30 days, but no specific date has been given so far.
Regarding the first hearing in this case, Mr. Trump's side
had argued that the first hearing should be postponed until the US Supreme Court makes a decision on presidential immunity, and
that requested that the first trial be postponed for 90 days due to the enormous amount of additional evidence submitted, amounting to 100,000 pages.
Mr. Trump has been indicted in four criminal trials, including this one, but the first trial of the trial over the intrusion into the U.S. Capitol has also been postponed, leaving many wondering what impact this will have on the fall presidential election. It is attracting attention as to whether it will give.
