Lawyers for former President Trump filed a motion Monday to adjourn the trial stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s charges related to hush money payments until after the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity. The trial in New York City is set to begin on March 25 with jury selection, but the former president and 2024 GOP presumptive nominee’s attorneys are requesting the trial be put on hold.
The motion from Trump's attorneys comes after the Supreme Court, last week, set April 25 to hear arguments on the issue of presidential immunity. A ruling on the matter is expected in late June. The pending question before the high court stemmed from Trump's appeal following charges out of Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference case. By agreeing to hear arguments on the matter, the Supreme Court has paused the Smith trial altogether.
In reacting to that ruling last week, Trump shifted his sights to the issue of presidential immunity. 'A great win for America. Very, very important!' Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview after the ruling.
