Donald Trump’s first criminal trial is officially on the books—and it starts before the election.
GOP front-runner Donald Trump is officially headed to court next month—the first of his four upcoming criminal trials expected sometime this year.
On Thursday, Trump headed to New York for a court hearing on his hush-money case. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan ignored his requests for a delay and determined the trial would start on March 25, when jury selection will begin.
Trump is accused of using his former fixer Michael Cohen to sweep an affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels under the rug ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
As a result, he’s facing 34 felony charges in this case for allegedly falsifying business records with the intent to further an underlying crime. Trump has pleaded not guilty on all counts.
Imagine being selected for jury on this case. It’d be so surreal

The judge in the last Trump case told jurors when the trial was over that it was in their best interests to remain anonymous and not talk about it. I don’t think judges do that very often…
I’m sure the boring administrative folk are screaming that at anybody close to this right now.
If you’re involved at all, no you’re not.
