Trump hush-money trial to seek 15,000 more pages of evidence amid push for delay

The Justice Department has notified the legal team for former President Donald Trump and the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that it plans to produce 15,000 records of potential evidence on Friday ahead of Trump’s hush-money criminal trial. 

The U.S. Attorneys Office said much of the material is unrelated to the state case against Trump. The federal prosecutors have already provided at least 104,000 pages of records — 74,000 of which initially went just to Bragg’s office and not to Trump’s lawyers. 

Bragg’s office has since turned over those 74,000 pages to the defense.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges stemming from alleged hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress, during his 2016 presidential campaign. 

Federal prosecutors in 2018 charged Cohen with campaign finance violations related to the hush-money payments, with evading taxes related to his investments in the taxi industry and with lying to Congress.

Lawyers for Trump have argued that evidence from the federal investigation is crucial to his defense in the New York state case being prosecuted by Bragg.
