Donald Trump’s latest attempt to delay his criminal hush money trial in New York has been denied during the second week of courtroom testimony.

The former president had sought a delay for several reasons, including that presiding Judge Juan Merchan had refused to recuse himself from the case, and that he had not been permitted to invoke a presidential immunity defence.

Mr Trump had also claimed that Judge Merchan had restricted his ability “to file motions in said proceedings and include rulings and submissions in the public record”. The appeal was denied by justices of the New York appeals court on Tuesday.

The ruling came down just hours after Judge Merchan ordered the former president to pay a fine of $9,000 earlier on Tuesday for violating a gag order on nine separate occasions.
