MADRID, 15 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
American Judge Juan Merchan of the Supreme Court of New York has decided this Friday to postpone for 30 days the trial against former US President Donald Trump for the case of alleged bribery of porn film actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels.
Merchan has ruled that the trial, scheduled for March 25, be postponed for 30 days, making it quite likely that the first hearing will take place in mid-April, according to the American network NBC News.
The office of the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, spoke the day before about a possible delay in the trial due, fundamentally, to the recent delivery by federal prosecutors of tens of thousands of pages related to the investigation.

The tycoon was charged with more than thirty charges for the possible secret payment of $130,000 (more than 120,000 euros) to Clifford to keep silent about an alleged extramarital relationship that both would have had in the past and that Trump has always denied.
The payments themselves do not represent illegality, but the way in which Trump would have made them, with the mediation of his then lawyer Michael Cohen, does, since he hid the disbursements through the magnate’s business conglomerate at a key moment, prior to the elections in which he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.
