Trump's criminal trial for payments to actress Stormy Daniels will be the first to begin against the former president: it will be on March 25. Judge Juan Manuel Merchán rejects the request of defense lawyers to delay the process.
Trump faces dozens of criminal charges for allegedly hiding payments to the porn actress as expenses of his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump came this morning to attend the hearing, which took place in the same Manhattan courtroom where he pleaded not guilty last April to the 34 charges against him.
