Rep. Renzi's trial delayed

Last month, we reported that Rep. Renzi was trying to delay the start of his trial for a variety of corruption-related charges.

Today, we learned the start of the trial has, in fact, been delayed -- unclear why:

A federal court has agreed to push back the trial of Rep. Rick Renzi (Ariz.) until Oct. 14, according to court documents.

The lawmaker’s lawyers had asked for a delay of the trial, which was scheduled to begin at the end of this month.
