Former President Donald Trump is set to face a criminal trial on March 25th in New York, as a judge has decided to proceed with the case. The trial will center around allegations that Trump used his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to pay off adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to keep quiet about an alleged affair just weeks before the 2016 election. Prosecutors have charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records, claiming that he concealed the payment to benefit his political campaign.
Trump, who was present in the courtroom today, attempted to have the trial delayed but was unsuccessful. He expressed his dissatisfaction afterward, claiming that the case was election interference coordinated by President Joe Biden. However, legal scholars have stated that there is no crime even if Trump were found guilty. It should be noted that Biden has no involvement in this matter.
