"Trump's Pivotal Manhattan Criminal Case: Live Updates and Trial Proceedings"
A New York judge rejected Donald J. Trump’s bid to dismiss criminal charges against him related to a hush-money deal with a porn star, setting a trial date for next month and paving the way for the first prosecution of a former American president. The judge announced the decision at a hearing in a Lower Manhattan courtroom, despite objections from Trump's lawyers, who argued for a delay due to conflicts with his presidential campaign. The case centers on allegations that Trump covered up a potential sex scandal involving the porn star, Stormy Daniels, during and after the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump faces 91 felony counts across four criminal indictments from prosecutors in Washington, Florida, and Georgia, as well as Manhattan, while seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
