Trump’s trial for payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels will begin on March 25

The former president of the United States donald trump (2017-2021) will be tried for alleged irregular payments to the porn actress Stormy Daniels from March 25tha day that will be dedicated solely to jury selection, a judge in New York confirmed this Thursday.

Judge Juan Merchan announced the decision before Trump himself, who this Thursday went to the Manhattan court to try, with his legal team, to get the judge to dismiss the charges, arguing that this would interfere with the presidential election campaignwhich has been denied.

The trial will last six weeks. He has also explained to the former president’s defense that he has held consultations with Judge Tanya Chutkan, who must judge in Washington DC the case for alleged electoral interference by Trump in the 2020 elections, about possible date conflicts to coordinate the celebration of both trials.

But the process in Washington, which was initially scheduled for March, is on hold while the appeal presented by the former president’s legal team for that case to be dismissed is decided.

Trump is accused of 34 crimes in relation to the $130,000 he paid Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign to conceal a relationship they had had ten years earlier, a payment that was hidden with the collaboration of his lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Trump faces a complicated trial schedule starting today: tomorrow another New York court is expected to deliver its final ruling in a civil case against the Trump Organization, which could cost him, among other things, a ban on operating in the real estate sector in the state where it has, for example, the famous Trump Tower building.

He will later face federal charges in Florida for handling classified documents after leaving the Presidency, plus another case in Georgia for attempts to reverse the election results.
