NEW YORK ¨C A New York appeals court on Thursday refused to delay Donald Trump¡¯s scheduled Oct. 2 civil fraud trial, after the former U.S. president accused the trial judge of wrongly refusing to throw out most of the case.
In a brief order, a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division, a mid-level appeals court in Manhattan, denied Trump¡¯s motion to postpone the trial.
It also lifted a Sept. 14 order by Justice David Friedman to put the trial on hold while it considered Trump¡¯s motion. Friedman was part of Thursday¡¯s panel.
