Judge sets April 15 trial date in Trump's New York hush money case

A New York judge has scheduled an April 15 trial date in former President Donald Trump's hush money case.Judge Juan M. Merchan made the ruling Monday. The judge earlier had scolded the former president’s lawyers as he weighed when to reschedule the trial after a last-minute document dump caused a postponement of the original date.

"But Merchan seemed unmoved, asking Blanche why the defense team, which subpoenaed for the records in January, didn’t bring up concerns about potentially missing documents weeks earlier."Why did you wait until two months before trial? Why didn’t you do it in June or July," Merchan said.Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges that he falsified business records.
