Mr Trump said, “This illegitimate political attack is nothing but a rigged charade.’’
The new date gives Mr Trump time to focus on the upcoming Republican National Convention, where his presidential nomination is expected to be made formal.
“President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.”
Former United States President Donald Trump has decided not to testify at his ongoing hush money criminal trial at a Manhattan courthouse.
The ex-tabloid publisher said he doled out $30,000 to Dino Sajudin, who worked as a doorman for Mr Trump.
Mr Trump is holding a 46 per cent to 45 per cent edge over Mr Biden in a weekend poll.
The former president was indicted in Georgia after investigations into reports that he tried to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results.
Although Mr Trump declined questions from journalists at the courthouse, he posted on his Truth Social platform minutes before his arrival.
He was arrested over his alleged role in paying hush money to adult entertainment star, Stormy Daniels, in the days preceding his election victory back in 2016.
There are, however, debates on whether he will be handcuffed and have his mug shot publicised, if taken at all.
