Legal Delays in Trump's Criminal Cases

The podcast discusses the ongoing delays in Donald Trump's multiple criminal cases, focusing on the trial in Manhattan where his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is expected to testify. Trump faces 34 felony charges, including falsifying business records related to hush money payments. Legal experts view this case as the least significant among the four against Trump, but it's the only one currently at trial. Trump's legal strategy in these cases seems centered on delaying proceedings, with various court postponements seen across different states.
