Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had supported the delay

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial agreed to delay the trial’s start date by 30 days after prosecutors received an influx of materials to review, just two weeks ahead of the trial’s initial start date.

Judge Juan Merchan wrote on Friday, 15 March that the trial would be postponed by 30 days, meaning it would begin in mid-April.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked the judge overseeing the criminal case on 14 March to delay the trial by as much as 30 days after the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) produced 31,000 pages of records the day prior. Prosecutors also noted on Friday that they are expecting an additional 15,000 pages of potential evidence.

Liberals out here acting like the SC didn't already overthrow democracy and overturn the 2000 election after Jeb Bush's regime deleted tens of thousands of blacks from the Florida voter roll — George Bush won Florida by a few hundred votes.

The Brooks Brothers Riot was also a coup, just like Jan 6. The difference is, it succeeded.

Also, the votes were eventually counted after the fact, and Gore actually won Florida.
