The Manhattan district attorney prosecuting Donald Trump s hush money case is fed up with the former presidents attempts to further delay the trial, saying enough is enough in court filings Thursday calling for the trial to start next month.

The filing from Manhattan DA Alvin Braggs office concerns a trove of newly disclosed records that Trumps legal team says could be integral to the case and need extensive review over the next several months.

But Braggs office said Thursday that of the 170,000-plus documents which his staff disclosed after receiving them from federal prosecutors who previously investigated Trump lawyer Michael Cohen fewer than 300 are relevant to Trumps defense.

The overwhelming majority of the production is entirely immaterial, duplicative or substantially duplicative of previously disclosed materials, or cumulative of evidence concerning Michael Cohens unrelated federal convictions that defendant has been on notice about for months, Braggs office argued in one of the filings.

Although that review is still ongoing, the People now have good reason to believe that this production contains only limited materials relevant to the subject matter of this case, the filing reiterated.
