Wyndham Hotels and Trump's Legal Woes: Wyndham Hotels provide diverse options for travelers while Trump's legal team tries to delay his trial on fraud and election interference charges, but lacks substantial evidence to support their motion.
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts cater to various travelers' needs, offering 24 trusted brands like La Quinta, Days Inn, and Super 8. Meanwhile, in the legal realm, Donald Trump's team is attempting to delay his upcoming trial in New York on business record fraud, cover up, and election interference charges. Despite their claims of jury prejudice due to bad publicity, they have yet to provide evidence or facts to support their motion. The judge, unimpressed, has set the trial date for April 15th, and Trump's team's motion is expected to be rejected. The legal proceedings surrounding Trump continue to generate significant publicity, making it challenging to select an impartial jury.
Defense Team's Controversial Actions in Trump Trial: Despite numerous motions, the defense team's controversial actions, such as attacking judges, prosecutors, jurors, and witnesses, are unlikely to delay the April 15th trial, as the judge maintains control and the appellate court is unlikely to grant a delay.
During the trial proceedings, Donald Trump's legal team has been making numerous motions, but the judge has been allowing them to move forward with the trial on April 15th. The defense team's actions, which include attacking judges, prosecutors, jurors, and witnesses, have been deemed as wrongful conduct that cannot be benefited from in the court. The judge, who runs a tight ship, has issued ironclad orders and none of them are outside the broad discretion given to a trial judge. The jury has not even been picked yet, but the defense team could still file a motion with the appellate division to delay the trial. However, given the judge's reputation and the current state of proceedings, it is unlikely that the appellate court will grant any kind of delay.
Immunity argument for Trump's trial unlikely to succeed: The immunity defense, which typically applies to a sitting president, is unlikely to be effective in Trump's criminal trial as the majority of the indictment pertains to pre-presidential actions.
The immunity argument raised by Donald Trump's lawyers to halt his criminal trial is unlikely to succeed. The indictment primarily focuses on actions taken by Trump before he became president, and the appellate court is not expected to grant a stay of the trial based on this argument.

Returning to the legal matter, the heart of the indictment against Trump revolves around events that transpired before his presidency. Although some bookkeeping aspects involved Michael Cohen and the Stormy Daniels payoff during Trump's tenure in the White House, the core of the indictment lies in Trump's pre-presidential actions. Consequently, the immunity defense, which typically applies to a sitting president, is not expected to be effective in this case. Despite the likelihood of an appeal, the legal experts involved in the discussion believe that the appellate court will swiftly reject Trump's immunity argument. This is because the fundamental principle of the immunity defense is that it applies when a president is in office, and the majority of the indictment pertains to events that occurred before Trump's presidency.
Donald Trump's lawyers tried to delay a 2023 trial over sex scandals allegations: Despite allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, the judge rejected Trump's attempts to delay a trial over sex scandals, emphasizing the importance of upholding the legal process.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump was trying to prevent sex scandals from emerging, especially after the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape where he made lewd comments about women. The trial in April 2023 revolves around this issue, as Trump's lawyers attempted to delay it by alleging prosecutorial misconduct regarding some documents. However, the judge was not convinced and rejected these arguments as meritless and an attempt to delay the trial. Trump's concerns about sex scandals were not related to saving his marriage or a prenuptial agreement, but rather avoiding the negative publicity that had affected Bill Clinton's campaign in the past. Despite the rough day in court, the judge did not sanction Trump's lawyers and the trial is expected to proceed.
