‘The Court cannot schedule the trial’: Trump lawyers point to Passover for longer delay of hush-money case even after Manhattan DA agreed to one-month interruption

New York City prosecutors on Thursday morning rubbished a recent series of efforts by Donald Trump to move his hush-money case to federal court as both “untimely” and procedurally off-base.

In a 5-page letter motion, a team of appellate attorneys for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office implored the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to reject the 45th president’s late Wednesday request to stay a lower court’s earlier rejection.

This week’s flurry of motions practice — back-and-forth; from both the state and the defense — caps several weeks of relative calm as the former president is scheduled to be sentenced for his 34-count felony falsification of business records convictions on Sept. 18.
