As a plethora of indictments and appeals surround former President Donald Trump in multiple venues, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday said in a notice to a court in New York that he is prepared to temporarily delay Trump’s impending hush-money and election interference trial that is currently scheduled for March 25.

In the 3-page notice, Bragg swiped at Trump for being responsible for delays that preempted the former president’s motion to adjourn. Nonetheless, Bragg said that while prosecutors are prepared to move ahead in a little over a week with the first criminal prosecution of a former president, they are unopposed to Trump’s motion to halt proceedings — though not for the 90 days as he requested.

Instead, Bragg said his office was willing to delay the start of the trial for 30 days so Trump could review a mass of evidence and pertinent records in discovery, including those documents Bragg says he has had to review since June 2023.
