BREAKING: Former President Trump makes 11th-hour appeal to delay his hush money trial with a challenge to his gag order and request for venue change. https://t.co/Inmk9enREU
— NBC News (@NBCNews) April 8, 2024
Lawyers for the former president filed papers at the state Appellate Division say the trial should be pushed back while Trump challenges a partial gag order against him and argues that setting the trial in Manhattan would be unfair because of potential jury bias against him, a source with direct knowledge of the action told NBC News.
The long-shot legal maneuvers come exactly one week before the first criminal trial of a former president is scheduled to start.

After claiming abortion should be an issue for the states to decide, Trump concludes his new video by saying the country is “at the brink … we have to win … we are a failing nation.” Bleak stuff. pic.twitter.com/d2jyI2yryH

Decoding Fox News has stumbled onto what I think might be a big hit…
I’ve heard from countless people that they won’t listen to his voice and that they immediately turn him off. They don’t even want to see him move on the screen. This is a public service of sorts to make sure people know what he said.

Twice Impeached 45 has already lost his shit on his shitty social media site over the Republicans that are really mad he didn’t support a national ban on abortion…
