Prosecutors Say They’re Open to Delaying Donald Trump’s March 25 Hush-Money Trial for a Month

Arlo Devlin-Brown’s commentary was included in an article from The Associated Press covering how prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office expressed openness to delaying the hush-money criminal trial against former President Donald Trump. Arlo offers his insight on reasons why the prosecutors might be amenable to a delay.

Arlo said prosecutors may be acquiescing to a delay because they recognize the amount of material is substantial and want to stake out a position they think [Judge] Merchan will find reasonable. “The Trump team likely views this as quite a positive on two fronts: They’re getting a trove of documents, some of which may be useful, and they’re getting more time,” he said.
