The judge postpones without a date Trump's trial scheduled for March for trying to steal the elections. The process was paralyzed and time was running out.

Trump is trying to delay his criminal cases while the prosecutor wants to seat him in front of a jury before the November elections. If Trump is elected while the case is pending, he could order the Justice Department to drop it or try to grant himself a pardon. The delay in Washington's trial leaves the trail clear for his first indictment, for commercial falsehoods in payments to hide scandals.
