Trump's NY Trial Postponed Due to New Evidence Disclosure
The trial delay allows Trump's legal team to review over 100,000 documents, including data from Michael Cohen's phones.
- Judge Juan Merchan postponed Donald Trump's New York trial by 30 days to mid-April after a massive evidence disclosure.
- The evidence includes data from Michael Cohen's phones, which Trump's lawyers aim to use to discredit Cohen's potential testimony.
- Despite a December order rejecting such requests, Trump's team obtained the documents after a compromise with the SDNY.
- Experts express concern that the delay could undermine public interest and potentially derail the trial entirely.
- Trump's legal team argues the evidence disclosure promotes justice and the truth-seeking function of the trial.
