YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A New York judge ruled Donald Trump’s first criminal trial will start April 15 in Manhattan, getting the case back on track after a short delay that was caused when thousands of pages of new evidence emerged.

Judge Juan Merchan made the announcement during a hearing Monday as the former president looked on. The decision virtually guarantees the trial over Trump’s hush money payment to a porn star before the 2016 election will go to a jury long before voters go to the polls for the November election.

The trial was initially set to start today, but Merchan imposed a 30-day delay on March 15 at the request of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The delay came after new documents were handed over by federal prosecutors related to a separate investigation into Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, who arranged the hush-money payment and is expected to be a key government witness at the trial.
