LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A judge on Tuesday delayed the trial of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy for a week to give the government time to determine whether recordings exist from an FBI surveillance camera positioned near the family’s ranch before an armed standoff in 2014.

Opening statements in the trial, expected to last through February, had been scheduled to begin Tuesday, but U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro granted the delay after attorneys for Bundy and three other defendants successfully argued they needed any such video to defend their clients.

Navarro expressed skepticism that the camera feed existed but no recordings were made.

“If it has potentially useful information, then the defense is entitled to it,” Navarro said. “I‘m not convinced that it doesn’t exist.”
