Donald Trump's latest apparent attempt to delay his New York hush-money trial over the federal government's evidence drop earlier this month did not go as his attorneys may have hoped. In fact, it may have backfired on the former president instead, legal experts suggested.
During Monday's pre-trial hearing in the case, which revolves around hush money payments he made to an adult film actress ahead of the 2016 election, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan tore into Trump's defense team for crying foul over the around 200,000 pages of evidence federal prosecutors turned over this month.
