Trump’s legal manoeuvring has yielded some successes in other cases as well.

A federal case that accuses him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden is on hold as the Supreme Court considers his argument that he cannot be prosecuted for actions taken as president.

An election subversion case in Georgia state court has been thrown into limbo as a judge considers whether to remove the lead prosecutor for having a romantic relationship with a subordinate.

In a court filing, prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said Trump had requested a 90-day delay to the trial because the Manhattan US Attorney’s office, which previously looked into the hush money case, in early March disclosed 73,000 pages of potentially relevant material.

“Although the People are prepared to proceed to trial on March 25, we do not oppose an adjournment in an abundance of caution and to ensure the defendant has sufficient time to review the new materials,” prosecutors wrote.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up the alleged hush money, which prosecutors say was to buy Daniels’ silence about a sexual encounter she said they had a decade earlier, which Trump has denied.
