The date was eagerly awaited, a few months before the American presidential election. Donald Trump will be the first former president of the United States to appear in criminal trial, on March 25, in the case of payments to silence an alleged relationship with a porn actress.
Judge Juan Merchan of the New York court rejected, Thursday, February 15, Donald Trump’s requests to cancel the prosecution, as desired by the Republican tycoon who denounced a “electoral interference” for the November presidential election.
The former Republican president is caught up in a scandal that he had visibly tried to cover up before it exploded, when he was running for the White House in 2016: he is accused of accounting fraud after having paid, through from the Trump Organization, to adult film actress Stormy Daniels the sum of $130,000 so that she would not make public a past relationship. The relationship dates back to 2006. Donald Trump was then already married to Melania Trump, who had just given birth to their last son, Barron Trump.
