Donald Trump speaks to the press in a hallway outside the courtroom at the end of a hearing to determine the date of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on March 25, 2024.
Merchan rejected Trump’s latest push to delay the trial even further, while excoriating his team for making bogus allegations of misconduct against Bragg. “You are literally accusing the Manhattan DA’s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it,” the judge said.
Trump has repeatedly decried his legal troubles as a Democratic conspiracy to prevent him from retaking the White House. He continued to allege election interference while speaking to the press outside of the hearing on Monday. “I don’t know how you can have a trial that is going on right in the middle of an election,” he said. “It’s not fair at all. He knows that. He’s a Democrat judge and he wants to do that because they’re all trying to damage Trump as much as possible.
