LOS ANGELES—A judge has granted a delay until next year in the trial of former L.A. Councilman José Huizar on federal bribery and racketeering charges, court papers obtained on April 29 show.

U.S. District Judge John F. Walter had initially scheduled a trial in October for Huizar and his co-defendant, former Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan, but this week allowed a four-month continuance due to the need for more preparation time.
