Jeffrey Donaldson trial delayed

The trial of former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson and his wife has been delayed, and is now expected to take place next year.

He’s charged with historical sex offences while Eleanor Donaldson is accused of aiding and abetting.

Both deny the charges against them.

The trial was supposed to start in November, but is being pushed back over issues relating to Eleanor Donaldson’s health.
