The first-ever criminal trial of a former US president will start on 25 March. That’s the major takeaway from today’s court hearing in New York.
Donald Trump sat in the courtroom and listened as his lawyers tried to have the case thrown out, but their efforts were denied.
So the next step will be selecting a jury.
As things wind down in New York, it’s heating up in Georgia, where Trump and several of his allies are charged with trying to overturn his election loss in the state.
But today’s hearing doesn’t concern the election interference allegations. Instead, the focus is on Fani Willis, the district attorney leading the Fulton County case, and whether she should be disqualified because of her romantic relationship with the case’s top prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
