Trump’s New York case will begin in March

A New York judge ruled Thursday that Donald Trump will stand trial in March on charges related to the Stormy Daniels coverup. Assuming the case goes forward as scheduled, Trump will be the first former president ever to be criminally tried. It will also be the first criminal case to slot in place among the complicated judicial calendar Trump is facing in this election year, and it means Trump will almost certainly face a jury before Election Day. In three other jurisdictions—Georgia state court and federal courts in Florida, and Washington, D.C.—Trump has been indicted on charges related to the 2020 elections and his retention of classified documents, but the timetable for those cases remains unclear.

    This guy has so many ‘firsts’, too bad they are all horrible firsts that no one should have ever done.

      I hope his next”first” is “ex president sent to prison.”

      And his last is “first ex president to die in prison”

        • I hope he has a stroke from his gluttonous lifestyle and gets locked in syndrome for at least 5 years.

          Being physically unable able to communicate would be the worst punishment imaginable for him.
