"Trump's New York Hush Money Case Proceeds to Trial Despite Dismissal Motion Denial"

The judge in former President Trump's criminal hush money case in New York City has denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case and confirmed that the trial will proceed on March 25 as planned, despite pleas from Trump's defense team for a delay. Trump's attorney argued that the trial schedule conflicts with other criminal cases and that media coverage is tainting the jury pool, but the judge insisted on moving forward with jury selection. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
