Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to stand trial for criminal charges on March 25th, a historic event that marks the first time a former president faces a jury in the midst of a presidential campaign. The trial in question revolves around a hush money repayment scheme involving porn star Stormy Daniels and Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen.
During a pretrial hearing in New York, Trump's attorney objected to the trial's timing, highlighting the unprecedented situation of a former president having to split his time between a courtroom and the campaign trail. However, the judge overseeing the case, Juan Marchand, denied the request for a delay, setting the trial to begin on the specified date.
