Bragg opposes Trump’s request a judge delay his hush money trial in New York on the grounds that it had gained too much publicity, according to a court filing.
Prosecutors from Bragg’s office accused Trump of strategizing to indefinitely delay the trial, which is scheduled to begin with jury selection on April 15.
Trump’s defense attorneys had asked in a court filing last month for Judge Juan Merchan to delay the trial because of “exceptionally prejudicial pretrial publicity, which is substantial, ongoing, and likely to increase.”The defense attorneys did not specify how long of a delay they were seeking, only stating that the trial should be adjourned until “prejudicial press coverage abates.”
Prosecutors argued that they had “doubts about the reliability of the survey” and that “publicity is unlikely to recede.” They said that the process of jury selection inherently would result in an impartial jury.
