Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers. The wheels of justice keep grinding slowly. After dramatic hearings that further delayed a Georgia trial, a judge said that Fani Willis and her office can stay on Donald Trump’s case — but only if her special prosecutor and former romantic partner Nathan Wade steps down. Meanwhile, Judge Aileen Cannon held an unnecessary hearing in Florida, and the New York case that actually looked like it was going to trial on time has caught the delay bug.
The New York criminal trial was supposed to start March 25, but that hush money case now is headed for some delay as well. In a surprise twist on Thursday, we learned that federal prosecutors only recently made discovery materials available related to Michael Cohen, a central witness in the state prosecution. On Friday, the judge presiding over the case, Juan Merchan, said he’s adjourning the trial for 30 days from Friday and is going to hold a hearing on the discovery issue March 25.
