Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says there’s no reason former president Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial can’t start next month. Last week Bragg agreed to delay the trial – originally scheduled to begin on March 25th – for 30 days due to an influx of documents from the U.S. Attorney’s office. Trump’s attorneys have been arguing for an even longer delay of 90 days.
