Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicated in a court filing Thursday that he doesn't oppose a 30-delay requested by former President Donald Trump in the hush money trial.

"Although the People are prepared to proceed to trial on March 25, we do not oppose an adjournment in an abundance of caution and to ensure that the defendant has sufficient time to review the new materials," the filing reads, according to NBC News.

The trial was supposed to begin later this month.

Last year, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Trump over his alleged role in a payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016, making him the first former president to face criminal charges.
