The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money criminal case rejected the former U.S. president's bid to delay Monday's scheduled trial on the ground that substantial pre-trial publicity would make the proceedings unfair. Trump had sought an indefinite delay, saying media coverage was prejudiced against him, and finding an acceptable jury in Manhattan would be tough because the borough was "overwhelmingly biased" against him. But in a decision on Friday, Justice Juan Merchan said an indefinite adjournment was "not tenable."
