Trump Loses 10th Attempt to Delay Hush Money Trial
--------------------------------------------------

The first criminal trial of a former U.S. president appears set to begin
on Monday after Donald Trump lost his 10th attempt to delay the trial -
but Trump's appeal could still be heard by a full panel of five
appellate court judges. Trump is accused of falsifying business records
to hide hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the
2016 election. In 2018, Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to
making the payments for Trump and spent over a year in prison.
