A New York appeals court judge on Monday rejected Donald Trump’s bid to delay his April 15 hush money criminal trial while he fights to move the case out of Manhattan — foiling the former president’s latest attempt to put off the historic trial. 

Justice Lizbeth González of the state’s mid-level appeals court made her ruling after an emergency hearing where Trump’s lawyers asked to postpone the trial indefinitely while they seek a change of venue. Trump was seeking an emergency stay, a court order that would prevent the trial from starting on time. 

The hush money trial is the first of Trump’s his four criminal indictments slated to go to trial and would be the first criminal trial ever of a former president.
