Donald Trump's attempt to delay his hush-money trial, scheduled for April 15, in Manhattan was shot down by a New York appeals court in one single sentence on Monday.

Trump's lawyer argued that Manhattan was heavily Democratic and a majority of its residents believe the former president is guilty, citing a survey.

The decision, pictured in a MeidasTouch report, doesn't offer more information about Gonzalez's reasoning for denying Trump's lawyers' requests.

Newsweek has contacted Trump's legal team for comment Tuesday morning, outside of regular office hours.

Judge Gonzalez's decision on Monday won't end the former president's attempts to delay the hush-money case in New York.

Cannon was appointed to the bench by Trump during his presidency in 2020 and was chosen last year to oversee the documents case.

Since then, she has routinely been criticized by observers and legal experts for making decisions in the proceedings that defy precedent and benefit the former president. »
