For this episode of Trump's Trials, NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR's Andrea Bernstein.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says there's no reason former president Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial can't start next month. Last week Bragg agreed to delay the trial - originally scheduled to begin on March 25th - for 30 days due to an influx of documents from the U.S. Attorney's office. Trump's attorneys have been arguing for an even longer delay of 90 days.

Topics include:
- Reason for delay in documents being delivered
- Trump's response
- Next steps
