Alvin Bragg has made a surprising request that has big POSITIVE implications for President Trump. In a move that's left pundits and the public reeling, Bragg has proposed a 30-day delay in the trial against Trump. This trial stems from charges tied to a 2016 payment of $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, a controversy that has haunted Trump since March 2023.

Paula Reid, speaking to "The Lead" host Jake Tapper, couldn't hide her shock. "The defense had asked for a 90-day delay to go through some discovery, and the surprise was that the prosecutor said they wouldn’t be opposed to a 30-day delay. Now it'll be up to the judge. So this judge could come back and say 30 days, 45 days, hell, we'll give you 90 days," Reid explained.

But it's Reid's next observation is even more significant. "But what’s astonishing to me, Jake, is this is the one case that was on the calendar," she emphasized. The implication here? Even a 45-day delay, or any postponement for that matter, opens the door to endless stalling tactics. "There's nothing that would require me to say absolutely, this will go, you can always come back and delay it again every week, every filing, every little delay makes it possible this may not go before the election. So this was a real shocker."

Another twist to the story is that Trump's legal team was inundated with over 30,000 pages of documents from the office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York just this Wednesday. According to Bragg's filing, this deluge is partially to blame for the requested delay. Meanwhile, Trump maintains his innocence, having pleaded not guilty to all charges during his court appearance on April 4, 2023.

This turn of events raises more questions than answers. With the clock ticking and the 2024 election on the horizon, this legal maneuver could play a pivotal role in the political battlefield. The stakes couldn't be higher, and all eyes will be on the judge's next move.
