Donald Trump will go on trial in Manhattan April 15, a judge ruled Monday — denying the former president’s bid to further delay or toss the “hush money” criminal case against him.
The 77-year-old’s lawyers had sought to dismiss the criminal trial in Manhattan Supreme Court due to a last-minute document dump.
Judge Juan Manuel Merchan had already agreed to postpone the trial until at least April 15 after Trump’s attorneys said they needed more time to delve into thousands of pages of newly disclosed evidence that were dumped on them by prosecutors relating to Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams’ case against Trump’s ex-fixer Michael Cohen.
The report explains that it was initially planned for the jury selection process to start on Monday. However, instead, the judge questioned why 46,000 pages of ‘evidence’ about Cohen was only turned over by the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office this month.
Cohen is expected to be a “star witness” in the trial.
Cohen cheered on social media, “April 15th for jury selection has just been ruled by Judge Merchan on the DANY Criminal Trial. Game on!”
