The judge in the hush money case rejects Trump's efforts to further the delays; meanwhile, the prosecutor in the classified documents case blasts the judge in his trial for delays with "no basis in law or fact."
Two days after expanding Trump's gag order to include family members of the court, the judge overseeing the hush money case denied Trump's attempt to delay the trial, saying the timing raised “real questions about the sincerity and actual purpose of the motion.” Meanwhile, the prosecutor in the classified documents case threatens to appeal to higher court for Judge Aileen Cannon's strange legal decisions and delays that give credence to Trump's “fundamentally flawed legal premise.”
