The Facts
Former Pres. Donald Trump's latest request to delay the start of his trial related to an alleged hush money payment was denied by a New York appellate judge Wednesday.
Trump has now failed three times to have the trial pushed back. It's expected to start next week with jury selection Monday.
The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump's numerous attempts to postpone being held accountable for his crimes have failed. It's heartening to see the judicial system brush off so many ridiculous claims from the former president. Now it's time for him to face the music, starting with the opening of his trial in the hush money case.
Pro-Trump narrative
There's just no way for Trump to get a fair shake in the face of an anti-Trump district attorney and judges. This unfounded case should never see the inside of a courtroom, but New York is determined to continue this witch hunt to sidetrack the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's campaign.
