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.

The judge, Lizbeth Gonzalez, heard arguments from Trump's lawyers and representatives from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for and against pausing the trial and moving it to another location, as requested by the former president. Trump's lawyer argued that Manhattan was heavily Democratic and a majority of its residents believe the former president is guilty, citing a survey.

Gonzalez issued a decision shortly after the hearing ended on Monday, writing: "Defendant's application for a stay of trial, pursuant to CPL § [section] 230.30, pending the determination of defendant's motion for change of venue, is denied."

Oh wow! Slammed by using boilerplate legal jargon. It must sting.

I see "brutally shot down", I think oh good. Then I see it's from Newsweek and I roll my eyes.

Being dyslexic is like a rollercoaster at times. I read it as "Donald Trump brutally shot down by judge", did a double take, and had to immediately start over.

I'm not dyslexic, but I did the same thing. So don't worry too much about it. Wait...or...AM I dyslexic? Oh no!

Damn they're throwing the kitchen sink at trying to come up with motions to delay. I wonder if they'll stoop to a motion to withdraw as counsel before the week is up?

The goal/hope is to push it off until after he somehow wins the election, then they will go back to the rhetoric from 4 - 5 years ago about sitting presidents being immune from prosecution.

Did Newsweek always use such click bait titles or is this a last 4 years thing?
