Attorneys for former President Donald Trump have filed a motion to exclude certain evidence in his criminal case in New York and adjourn trial as the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments over President Trump’s presidential immunity defense in a separate criminal case.

New York Judge Juan Merchan gave prosecutors until March 13 to respond and entered a new order requiring parties to get court approval for future filings.
