The former president’s criminal hush-money in New York trial will begin on April 15, Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday
Donald Trump‘s first criminal trial will begin on April 15.
Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday that the former president’s criminal hush-money trial will kick off next month. The ruling comes after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agreed to delay the initial start date of March 25 so that his office could review new records from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Merchan rejected Trump’s latest push to delay the trial even further, while excoriating his team for making bogus allegations of misconduct against Bragg. “You are literally accusing the Manhattan DA’s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it,” the judge said.

Reminder: This is the criminal trial for the exact same crime for which Trump’s co-conspirator Michael Cohen has already served a 3 year sentence.
Ready to watch our Two-Tiered legal system do it’s thing again?
Popcorn ready🍿
Let the fascism slowly unfold
“Boil that frog! Boil that frog! Boil that frog!”
You can’t be sure of that, if we’re lucky we’ll see his cult pay a $200,000 fine (before appeals)
He will walk free. I guarantee it.
Look how courts magically reduced his $450M bond to $175M, even after he bragged that he has money. He will appeal again to reduce $175M to less than a million and won’t even pay that much
I never had faith that he’d get jail time. I once had faith that, the amount and bond being announced, he would pay, simply because the inertia of the legal system is often quite massive.
Not as massive as the vast wave of conservative corruption in this country, it would seem.
The criminal trial isn’t even worth getting worked up over in comparison. If he’s not going to be forced to pay a fine, he sure as fuck isn’t going to jail.
Look at that dangling carrot. I’m definitely gonna get that carrot this time. And after that, I’m gonna catch that rabbit on the track. And after that, I’m gonna kick that football. It’s all gonna happen. Everything’s coming up Milhouse!
How do I block “Trump” from my Lemmy Timeline? I can not do this anymore. Everytime the hopes are high and then this fucking clown gets away. Let me please just block everything related to that asshole.
I mean, he’s the Republican Nominee and is running for President of the US this year. If you’re not expecting to see news about him, then you should probably block [email protected] and all political subs…
Here are some topic from politics that are not trump related that I would have missed:
- Biden cancels nearly $6 billion in student debt for 78K public service workers
- Republicans reject motion to impeach Joe Biden
- House Republicans Want to Ban Universal Free School Lunches
- Nature article suggests that we cannot afford the rich
- Biden Targets Private Jets in Hunt for Tax Revenue
- Lev Parnas, ex-Giuliani associate, testifies allegations against Bidens are false and ‘spread by the Kremlin’
Lemmy, please let me block “Trump” as a Keyword and let me stay in the loop for the rest.
With Sync you can filter in various ways. E.g. you can filter posts by a keyword such as “Trump”. I assume something similar can be done in another client. I know not all support filtering, though do not recall which do aside from Sync.

For a minute I thought it said he was kicking off Criminal Month and I was impressed they got such a good brand tie in.
finally its infrastructure week
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday that the former president’s criminal hush-money trial will kick off next month.
Merchan rejected Trump’s latest push to delay the trial even further, while excoriating his team for making bogus allegations of misconduct against Bragg.
“You are literally accusing the Manhattan DA’s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it,” the judge said.
The ruling is all but final, although Merchan is allowing Trump to file a motion arguing that the trial should be delayed on the grounds of pretrial publicity.
Trump would be criminally indicted three more times in the ensuring months — twice by the Justice Department and once in Georgia by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis — but it’s looking like the case in Manhattan is the only one that will go to trial before the 2024 election.
Trump has repeatedly decried his legal troubles as a Democratic conspiracy to prevent him from retaking the White House.
The original article contains 411 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
He might of broken the law but so has evrey body else in new York they set the precadent now the corrupt corporate eleats can pay and it only happend because donald trump is oddly hated by a crazy fringe of Democrats who are hurting themselfs more than him
So crime shouldn’t be acted upon because someone else did it as well? That’s your argument? I’m guessing you’re joking?
He might of broken the law but so has evrey body else in new York
Yeah. Let those of us who have not created fraudulent business documents to cover up payments to our porn star mistress in violation of campaign finance laws cast the first stone.
He’s hated by every single American patriot. We the majority absolutely hate fascist traitors who tried to overthrow our constitution.
If you support trump, you aren’t american any longer. You’re the enemies of the United States.
The majority i think you might be a bit wrong on that also trumps no fascist the real natzis that my grate grandfather told me about when he escaped Germany during ww2 thos who are calling for the death to all jews are the true fasist
You’re obviously very smart and have achieved a high level of education.
Your grandfather would hate fascists like trump. At least he would see the OBVIOUS parallels in the Hitler speeches that your orange makeup wearing rapist fuhrer likes to spout.
Actions count trump has a higher black employment rating than any other presadent in history hitler has 0 o wate he massacerd them alond with another none wight hared none blue eyed man also btw joe biden helped implement mass incarceration of none volint drug addeted blacks and i quote jo biden if you don’t vote for me then your not black hillary Clinton called Robert byrd grand cyclops of the kkk her mentor democrats are more rasict than donald trump but your stuck inside a eco chamber listening to every thing your told and aceppting it as fact hitler said if you tell a lie and keep telling it sooner or later pepole will beleave it i guess he was correct please do some real reserch outside the eco chamber i pray for all of us in the name of Eloheynu melech ha’olam (Our God, King of the Universe)
This literary masterpiece reads like the Sound and the Fury.
And btw, the keep telling lies until they stick is EXACTLY what traitor trump your golden god fuhrer does ON A DAILY BASIS.
My god is Eloheynu melech ha’olam in english thats (Our God, King of the Universe) and trump has done more for us than any other contry in the world
Oh I agree with you!
Traitor trump has done more to destroy our economy, more sedition and treason than any other president, more debt added to the total than other other president in history, more pussy grabbing than any other president, more child rapist close friends than any other president, most dysfunctional state dept than any other president, and more lies than any other president in history.
You are an absolute joke with name dropping a god out of one one side of your mouth whilst simultaneously (and in complete ignorance of reality) professing your complete fealty to a fascist piece of excrement.
Good job magat, you’ve disgraced god and your entire lineage.
Holy cow you’re just plain unintelligent. No wonder you can’t see reality.
Just curious, what does your god say about adultery? How about a pig who goes out and pays for sex while his wife is at home with their newborn?
You’re joking yourself severely if you believe any deity wouldn’t smite donald trump on sight for his extreme and continued transgressions against humanity.
And what dose you god say about mass murder i see your side doing it on the regular and you still won’t call out thos who call for mass genocide of the Jewish race
My side? What is my side? This may shock you but we Americans can hate traitors like trump without choosing a side.
