As other presidential candidates will be preparing for the April round of primaries next year, former President Donald Trump will be in court for his New York City trial on charges of falsifying business records in 2016.
The date of March 25 was set Tuesday during a hearing in which Trump appeared by video from his Florida home. When the date was set, Trump shook his head but made no comment to the court, according to The Washington Post.
Although a dash for relevance has led many states to move their presidential primaries as early into 2024 as possible, April features heavyweight states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the National Council of State Legislatures.
The timing of the trial also means that as other Republican presidential candidates focus on flying back and forth across the country for elections held on three Tuesdays in March — March 5, March 12, and March 19 — Trump will be focused on his trial.
Trump faces a 34-count indictment related to payments made in the 2016 election that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, led by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, claims were recorded on the books of the Trump Organization in such a way as to conceal them during the campaign.
The former president was not pleased.
“Just had New York County Supreme Court hearing where I believe my First Amendment Rights, ‘Freedom of Speech,’ have been violated, and they forced upon us a trial date of March 25th, right in the middle of Primary season,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
“Very unfair, but this is exactly what the Radical Left Democrats wanted. It’s called ELECTION INTERFERENCE, and nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before!!!” Trump wrote.

Couldn’t he ask for a more speedy trial.
Speedy Trial Act of 1974 defines speedy as commencing trial no more than 70 days after indictment. Bringing trial date to last week of June.
We all know what’s going on. After 2 “impeachments” and an “insurrection” created by agents provocateur Marxists, we know.
Trump’s lawyers requested a distant day, they got what they requested so what’s the problem?
The persecution continues

Maybe they can fill the entire primary schedule with court dates
See, there you go. You have your head so far up desanctomonious’s ass that you actually support the weaponization of the government against Trump and his supporters.
Of course there’s no election interference going on, you sillies.
I’m sure it was a coincidence and no malicious intent.
Obvious attempt to chop the legs off President Trump's Presidential run.
If the Republican House meets chop for chop, Biden's Impeachment hearings should be well underway during this period in March 2024.
They are going to drip, drip, drip the trials and indictments all through the primaries. It’s a crime.
2024 will be the most rigged election in history.
You’re off your meds again.
Seems Trump has grounds to sue the judge if he doesn’t recuse himself; miss trial.
Seems Trump has grounds to sue the judge if he doesn’t recuse himself; mistrial on appeal. There goes the judge’s career as it should be.
Trump would probably claim that any trial date is unfair.
Judge Cooper (wife was COS for Eric Holder) wants to make sure Barnett doesn’t start another insurrection lol
DC courthouse is a total farce, a clown show. No matter how much contempt you have for the ruling class in Washington, it’s not enough https://t.co/DvP3yrBJdc— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) May 24, 2023
By the way, one of the lead DOJ prosecutors in Oath Keepers case--reportedly arguing in court today for judge to impose these sentences--is Troy Edwards.
I am told by very reliable source (a family member) that his father-in-law is none other than Jim Comey.
Yes, that Jim Comey https://t.co/uZJwXAGWze— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) May 24, 2023
Our country heading down the drain.....
He will be juggling court dates in three states by then. This will be hilarious.
Old guy should retire to the golf course.
They will. They have timed timed and coordinated their indictments to do just that. Such evil and what are the people of America doing about it?
