A New York state appeals court judge denied Donald Trump's request to delay his upcoming criminal trial on hush money charges. Trump's lawyers argued in a last-minute legal maneuver that an impartial jury couldn't be selected due to prejudicial pretrial publicity. The judge issued a one-line ruling with no explanation, rejecting the request exactly one week before the April 15th trial started. Trump's team is also challenging a partial gag order in the case, which the appeals court will hear on Tuesday. Prosecutors said publicity isn't confined to Manhattan and is worldwide partly due to Trump's comments on the case.
