0ur North America correspondent peter bowes sent this update. This means the trial of donald trump on charges that he was involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the result of the 2020 election will be significantly delayed if indeed it is able to go ahead at all. Donald trump is accused of being involved in a conspiracy to defraud the United States through his words, his actions, in the days leading up to january six, 2021, and the assault on the capitol building.
