New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan adjourned an upcoming trial for former President Donald Trump for 30 days, scheduling a March 25 hearing on the possible dismissal of the case, after which he “will set the new trial date, if necessary.”

The decision follows a discovery dump of 104,000 pages on President Trump’s attorneys less than three weeks before the trial was set to begin.
