NEW YORK—After a short hearing in a state courtroom in lower Manhattan, Judge April Neubauer decided to postpone former Trump adviser Steven Bannon’s trial, originally set to begin on Dec. 9, until February 2025.

He faces charges of defrauding investors in a scheme to finance the construction of a wall on the U.S. southern border.
