Donald Trump's criminal trial will begin on April 15, a New York judge ruled on Monday, shooting down the former president's efforts to delay it.

The former presidentā€™s criminal hush-money in New York trial will begin on April 15, Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday

Donald Trumpā€˜s first criminal trial will begin on April 15.

JudgeĀ Juan Merchan ruled on Monday that the former presidentā€™s criminal hush-money trial will kick off next month. The ruling comes after Manhattan District AttorneyĀ Alvin BraggĀ agreed to delayĀ the initial start date of March 25 so that his office could review new records from the U.S. Attorneyā€™s Office.

Merchan rejected Trumpā€™s latest push to delay the trial even further, while excoriating his team for making bogus allegations of misconduct against Bragg. ā€œYou are literally accusing the Manhattan DAā€™s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it,ā€ the judge said.

      With Sync you can filter in various ways. E.g. you can filter posts by a keyword such as ā€œTrumpā€. I assume something similar can be done in another client. I know not all support filtering, though do not recall which do aside from Sync.
