"Trump's Legal Woes: Trials Set and Hearings Conclude in New York and Georgia"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump's first criminal trial, involving hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, is set to start on March 25 after a judge denied his attempt to dismiss the charges. Trump's lawyer sought to postpone the trial, arguing it would interfere with his campaign efforts. The trial is expected to last about six weeks, and Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump criticized the trial as election interference, while his lawyers raised concerns about finding unbiased jurors due to media saturation and the politically charged environment.
