Donald Trump considers it ‘unfair’ that his trial is organized ‘in the middle of an election’ The criminal trial of the former American president is scheduled to begin on April 15. Judge Juan Merchan rejected the defense's request to grant him a new deadline.

The ex-president is increasing his appeals to delay his trials as much as possible, if possible after the presidential election on November 5. He pleaded not guilty to charges of defacing the Trump Organization's accounts to hide the $130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels.
