Judge rejects Trump delay in hush money trial as appeals court hands him win in fraud case: Recap

Former President Trump was back a New York courtroom Monday as his lawyers battled with the state over new documents turned over in Trump’s hush money case.

Simultaneously, during a brief break in that hearing, a New York appeals court temporarily stopped the clock on the looming enforcement of a multimillion-dollar judgment against Trump and his company over deceitful business practices in a dueling day of major court matters for the former president.

Monday was supposed to be the day the hush money trial began, but a surprise development delayed the trial. Judge Juan Merchan instead held a hearing to sort out the blame game over the new documents and mull Trump’s contention that an additional delay is warranted, which sometimes grew contentious.
