Former President Donald Trump wants his upcoming defamation trial delayed, arguing that his recent indictment has stoked a “media frenzy” that warrants a “cooling off” period.

Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts on April 4. He is scheduled to go on trial on April 25 for allegedly defaming magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.
