NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday delayed the criminal trial of two former associates of U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on campaign finance charges, reflecting difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in Manhattan scheduled the trial of Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman and two other defendants for March 1, 2021, one month later than planned and five months after the original Oct. 5, 2020 trial date.
