Donald Trump's criminal trial will begin on April 15, a New York judge ruled on Monday, shooting down the former president's efforts to delay it.

The former president’s criminal hush-money in New York trial will begin on April 15, Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday

Donald Trump‘s first criminal trial will begin on April 15.

Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday that the former president’s criminal hush-money trial will kick off next month. The ruling comes after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agreed to delay the initial start date of March 25 so that his office could review new records from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Merchan rejected Trump’s latest push to delay the trial even further, while excoriating his team for making bogus allegations of misconduct against Bragg. “You are literally accusing the Manhattan DA’s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it,” the judge said.

      Here are some topic from politics that are not trump related that I would have missed:

      • Biden cancels nearly $6 billion in student debt for 78K public service workers
      • Republicans reject motion to impeach Joe Biden
      • House Republicans Want to Ban Universal Free School Lunches
      • Nature article suggests that we cannot afford the rich
      • Biden Targets Private Jets in Hunt for Tax Revenue
      • Lev Parnas, ex-Giuliani associate, testifies allegations against Bidens are false and ‘spread by the Kremlin’

      Lemmy, please let me block “Trump” as a Keyword and let me stay in the loop for the rest.
