NEW YORK - Donald Trump and his three eldest children will go on trial late in 2023 in aa judge ruled on Tuesday.
The date, which Trump’s lawyers are likely to try to delay, would come close to the start of primaries season for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Ms James has requested that Trump pay at least US$250 million in penalties – a sum she said he made from the fraud – and that his family be banned from running businesses in the state.Trump, 76, said the lawsuit is politically motivated. He has repeatedly tried to have it dismissed.
That legal fight appeared to hit the end of the road when the justices ruled without comment that the returns should be handed over to the House Ways and Means Committee. The move comes with just a few weeks remaining in the term of the current Congress, and Republican lawmakers will take over the House in January after winning a slight majority in the Nov 8 midterm elections.
