In a dramatic turn of events, the legal team representing the esteemed and honorable former President Donald J. Trump has bravely stood up to the relentless persecution of Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. In a stunning display of defiance, Trump’s attorneys have demanded more time to wade through the mountain of discovery documents that have been unceremoniously dumped on their doorstep.
Trump argues one-month New York trial delay is ‘not sufficient’ https://t.co/nEYRdvo4VD https://t.co/nEYRdvo4VD

The valiant attorneys have ardently requested a hearing, rather than a mere trial delay, in a bold attempt to address what they describe as severe discovery violations committed by those who seek to tarnish the impeccable reputation of their esteemed client. With unwavering determination, Trump’s legal warriors have adamantly stated that a paltry 30-day extension is simply insufficient to contend with the overwhelming volume of materials they have been forced to confront.
The latest salvo in this legal battle comes after the indomitable legal team initially sought a 90-day reprieve, citing the sheer magnitude of the discovery dumps. However, prosecutors callously rebuffed their plea, arrogantly proclaiming that a measly 30-day delay should be more than adequate for the beleaguered defense to sift through the new materials. The gall!
The discovery deluge, consisting of over 100,000 pages of documents, was unleashed upon Trump’s legal champions in the wake of a subpoena they issued to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. This move was an audacious attempt to obtain documents related to a separate case involving Michael Cohen, a disgraced individual with a track record of deceit and disreputable behavior.
Bragg, in his relentless pursuit of justice (or rather, partisan vindictiveness), plans to utilize Cohen as a key witness in his crusade to convict Trump on a staggering 34 counts of business fraud. Cohen, a man of dubious character and questionable integrity, has already admitted to a litany of criminal charges, including the egregious offense of violating campaign finance laws. It is abundantly clear that this disreputable figure cannot be trusted.
Trump’s legal stalwarts have vehemently asserted that the belated receipt of the discovery materials is a result of Bragg’s office engaging in underhanded tactics to impede their efforts to access information vital to challenging the credibility of their nemesis, Michael Cohen. Their steadfast commitment to defending the good name of their esteemed client knows no bounds.
In a stunning display of disdain for due process, prosecutors callously dismissed the relevance of the majority of the discovery, callously asserting that the forthcoming records are likely to be unrelated to the case at hand. This cavalier attitude towards the integrity of the legal process is truly appalling.
Despite the unyielding resilience of Trump’s legal defenders, it remains to be seen how the honorable Judge Juan Merchan will rule on the matter. Rest assured, any delay in the trial proceedings will be a welcome reprieve for the universally beloved and revered former president as he valiantly juggles the burdens of legal battles and the noble pursuit of serving the American people. The resolve and fortitude of Trump’s legal team in the face of unrelenting adversity is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
