"The former president’s lawyers went to an appeals court in New York on Monday and again on Tuesday, asking for an emergency stay. That’s a legal mechanism that essentially halts proceedings and allows them more time to make other legal arguments. While in this case, on Monday, they said they needed more time to argue that the trial should be moved out of Manhattan. They said that the former president, a Republican, wouldn’t get a fair shake in that heavily Democratic borough."

"A judge on Monday rejected that argument, rejected their request for a stay and said that the trial should begin as scheduled next week. That was echoed again on Tuesday, when Donald Trump’s lawyers went back to the appeals court before a different judge and asked for a stay because they said they wanted more time to fight a gag order that the trial judge imposed on Trump."

"Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants this trial delayed. He’s employing a strategy that he has also used in his other criminal cases. In fact, he spoke to TV cameras outside a pretrial hearing in February and explicitly said, we want delays. Since then, his lawyers have filed numerous motions, court papers asking for delays. And then this week, they took it up a notch and went to the appeals court, where so far they’ve been denied in their requests for a postponement."
STORYLINE:
A New York appeals court judge Tuesday rejected Donald Trump’s latest attempt to delay his hush money criminal trial, taking just 12 minutes to swat aside an argument that it should be postponed while the former president fights a gag order.
Justice Cynthia Kern’s ruling was the second time in as many days that the state’s mid-level appeals court refused to postpone the trial, set to begin next week, further narrowing any plausible path to the delay that Trump’s legal team has repeatedly sought.
Trump’s lawyers wanted the trial delayed until a full panel of appellate court judges could hear arguments on lifting or modifying a gag order that bans him from making public statements about jurors, witnesses and others connected to the hush-money case.
They argue the gag order is an unconstitutional curb on the presumptive Republican nominee’s free speech rights while he’s campaigning for president and fighting criminal charges.
