A New York judge has set a firm trial date of April 15 for Donald Trump's first criminal trial, rejecting claims of prosecutorial misconduct and insisting that the case over reimbursement of hush money payment is back on track. The trial involves the alleged falsification of business records related to Trump's repayment of his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid an adult film actress for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. The judge expressed skepticism towards Trump's legal claims and criticized his legal team for their handling of potential evidence, ultimately ruling that the trial will proceed as scheduled.
Judge Juan M. Merchan denied Donald Trump's request to further delay his Manhattan criminal trial on charges related to a hush-money payment, setting the trial date for April 15. The judge criticized Trump's lawyers for attempting to delay the trial due to newly disclosed documents and scolded them for unsubstantiated allegations against the Manhattan district attorney’s office. Trump's other criminal cases are mired in delays, and the Manhattan trial might be the only one to move forward before the presidential election.
Judge Juan Merchan is expected to set a trial start date in the New York hush money case against former President Donald Trump at a hearing on Monday, following a 30-day delay. The Manhattan District Attorney's office urged the judge not to delay the trial further, citing the relevance of documents provided by federal prosecutors. Trump's lawyers blamed the DA's office for the delay and requested dismissal of the charges, while the DA's office called the focus on document release a "red herring." The case alleges that Trump falsified business records in connection to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, and Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The federal judge overseeing the classified documents prosecution of Donald Trump is expected to set a trial date in a crucial hearing, with federal prosecutors requesting a July 8 trial date and defense lawyers proposing August 12. The trial's timing is significant given the uncertainty surrounding a separate federal case in Washington charging Trump with election subversion. Trump faces 40 felony counts in Florida for hoarding classified documents, and the hearing will also address a dispute over whether defense lawyers can publicly disclose potential witness details.
Federal prosecutors and attorneys for Donald Trump have proposed pushing back the trial for the classified documents case to July 8, with Trump's attorneys arguing that he can't have a fair trial before November's election due to political commitments. The trial date proposals come after a dispute over access to classified records at Trump's Florida residence was resolved, and the schedule for Trump's criminal cases remains uncertain, with the Supreme Court's upcoming hearing on presidential immunity potentially affecting the course of the trial.
Special Counsel Jack Smith and attorneys for former President Trump have proposed new start dates for the trial related to Trump's alleged improper retention of classified records, with Smith suggesting a July 8 start date and Trump's attorneys proposing August 12. Trump's legal team argued that a fair trial cannot be conducted this year due to his status as the leading GOP candidate for the 2024 presidential election. The proposed trial date would coincide with the Republican National Convention if Trump wins the GOP nomination. This comes amid the Supreme Court's consideration of whether Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution in a separate federal election interference case, with a decision expected in mid-June.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is gaining victories in the courtroom of Judge Aileen Cannon, with a ruling that President Trump's co-defendants cannot view classified documents and a denial of Trump's request for a pretrial deadline delay. The judge found that the charges against the co-defendants do not require proof of willfully retaining documents related to national defense. Smith is also seeking a reconsideration of the order to unseal potential witnesses' identities. The high-stakes litigation is set to commence with arguments for the May 20 trial date, which Trump has requested to delay indefinitely.
Donald Trump's request to delay or dismiss the 34 felony charges in his hush-money case was denied by the judge, who set the trial date for March 25. The case alleges Trump lied in business documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Prosecutors argue it was an illegal campaign contribution, while Trump's lawyers claim the payment was not illegal. The judge also rejected Trump's request to trim the case down to a single count and to hold hearings on whether the case should be dismissed due to political targeting. The trial is set to proceed as scheduled, with jury selection beginning on March 25.
