Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) blasted the decision from New York Judge Juan
Merchan to delay former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial by 30
days.
Schiff appeared on State of the Union on Sunday to react to Merchan
granting Trump’s request for the delay. Trump is facing 34 felony counts
over allegations of paying hush money to multiple women in 2018 who claim
they had an affair with him. His lawyers initially asked for a 90-day
delay to review documents handed down by federal prosecutors, but they
settled with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for less.
“There is a chance that he could evade justice by delaying justice. This
is a tried and true tactic of Trump throughout his career,” Schiff said.
Schiff noted his greater worry about Trump’s Jan. 6 case. The
representative served on the Jan. 6 Committee and expressed concern that
the Supreme Court is delaying its decision on Trump’s presidential
immunity claim.
“The question is, will it also move with great speed in rejecting this
bogus immunity claim? If it doesn‘t, it‘s making a deliberate decision essentially to push the trial past the election,” Schiff said. “And I
think that would be a terrible decision both for the interest of justice,
it will be a terrible decision in depriving American voters of the
information they would learn during the course of that trial but it would
also just further discredit this partisan and reactionary court.”
Jury selection was initially slated for March 25, but a new date will be
set during a hearing on that day instead.
Schiff is in the middle of a Senate campaign for late Sen. Dianne
Feinstein‘s seat in California.
