A judge has denied Donald Trump's attempt to delay the trial related to hush money paid to a porn star, confirming that it will begin on April 15. Trump's lawyers had sought a 90-day delay and to have the case thrown out, but the judge rejected their arguments. This makes it highly likely that Trump will become the first former American president to stand trial on criminal charges next month.
A federal judge in Manhattan has denied former President Donald Trump's request to delay a defamation trial with writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape. The judge rejected Trump's motion to stay the case pending an appeal, stating that there is a public interest in holding presidents accountable for actions that do not fall within the scope of their duties. The judge also expressed concerns about the advanced ages of both parties and the potential delay in compensation for Carroll. This is the fourth attempt by Trump to delay the trial, which is set for January.
