(The Guardian) Judge in New York refuses to dismiss case against Trump
Judge Juan Merchan got right to the point when proceedings kicked off, informing the court that Trump’s case will move forward next month. “Defendant’s motions to dismiss have been denied,” Merchan said, indicating that a written decision is now available.
Merchan said shortly thereafter: “We’re moving ahead to jury selection on March 25.”
The criminal case against Donald Trump in New York will now be the first of the four the former president is facing to go to trial.
The trial is due to begin in Manhattan on March 25. The federal election interference case against Trump had been slated to go first, beginning on March 4, but that has been delayed.
Trump admitted, upon arriving in court in New York today, that delaying cases was his strategy and his aim in the hush money case.
Trump is also indicted in Georgia on a state election interference case, where there’s a hearing this morning. And in a federal case being heard in Florida related to accusations that he illegally retained classified documents after leaving the office of the presidency and obstructing justice in trying to hide some of the material after the government had asked for it back.
