Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday rejected allegations his office had violated discovery obligations in former President Donald Trump’s New York hush-money case, characterizing recent defense claims as part of an effort to delay the upcoming criminal trial.

In a 31-page memo, the district attorney’s office pleaded with New York Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan to move forward soon — despite the recent transfer of some 73,000 pages of discovery materials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Those materials were sourced from a prior federal file in a case targeting longtime Trump attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen.

Bragg and his office say there’s very little information relevant to the hush-money case in the trove of recently discovered documents.
