Manhattan DA Says Trump's Efforts To Delay Hush Money Trial 'Must Be Stopped'

The Manhattan district attorney prosecuting Donald Trump’s hush money case is fed up with the former president’s attempts to further delay the trial, saying “enough is enough” in court filings Thursday calling for the trial to start next month.

The filing from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office concerns a trove of newly disclosed records that Trump’s legal team says could be integral to the case and need extensive review over the next several months.

But Bragg’s office said Thursday that of the 170,000-plus documents ― which his staff disclosed after receiving them from federal prosecutors who previously investigated Trump lawyer Michael Cohen ― fewer than 300 are relevant to Trump’s defense.

“The overwhelming majority of the production is entirely immaterial, duplicative or substantially duplicative of previously disclosed materials, or cumulative of evidence concerning Michael Cohen’s unrelated federal convictions that defendant has been on notice about for months,” Bragg’s office argued in one of the filings.

“Although that review is still ongoing, the People now have good reason to believe that this production contains only limited materials relevant to the subject matter of this case,” the filing reiterated.

Efforts by Trump’s legal team to delay the trial until this summer come after prosecutors already agreed to push its March start date to April 15.

“Enough is enough,” Bragg’s office said in its filing.

Bragg also responded to claims by Trump’s legal team that the case should be dropped and Bragg should be sanctioned for belatedly disclosing the documents. The DA’s office said that fault lies with Trump’s team for waiting until the eleventh hour to subpoena the records from the Southern District of New York,
