In a recent document submitted in New York, Trump requested to delay the trial about hush money and election interference until the Supreme Court makes a decision on his claim of being immune as a president.
Trump's legal team stated that it would be appropriate to postpone the trial to get more guidance from the Supreme Court about how the presidential immunity doctrine should be applied in this case. They also mentioned that the court should have a hearing without the jury to determine and exclude certain evidence related to official acts, based on presidential immunity, in line with the court's previous decision in Blassingame.
Trump is employing a strategy to delay the trials and is leveraging each case against the other to gain more time. Survey results have indicated that a criminal conviction would seriously harm Trump's chances in the general election, so he is attempting to prolong the process as much as possible, aiming to go beyond election day.
All of Donald Trump's actions and filings are intended to create delays.
Trump's legal team understands that the likelihood of the former president being acquitted of 91 felony charges in four different areas is very low. Therefore, Trump's only plan is to postpone the trials until after the 2024 election and hope for a victory.
There is no plan for winning. It's delayed because for Trump, delaying means winning.
