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.
Trump is a sovcit in all but name. He’ll never acknowledge that any court has authority over him.
That’s the thing about Sovcits. They don’t have to acknowledge the authority of a higher entity to face the consequences.
Yeah but he may turn out to be the exception, then we’re fucked.
