The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's upcoming Manhattan hush-money trial on Wednesday rejected the former president's request to delay the proceedings pending the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision, tossing one of several of Trump's remaining bids to delay the trial and tanking his effort to exclude key evidence from being used during it.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan ruled that Trump's request was untimely, emphasizing that his legal team had "myriad opportunities" to voice the immunity concern before they did so last month, which was long after the pretrial motions deadline in the case had passed.
