Donald Trump is just one week away from becoming the first former U.S. president to be tried for a crime, with his Manhattan trial slated to begin next Monday, April 15. Last week, Judge Juan Merchan rejected Donald Trump’s request to delay the “hush money” trial. Trump argued that the judge should wait until the Supreme Court decides on the immunity issue, but Merchan rejected Trump’s presidential immunity claims on Wednesday, saying Trump waited too long to raise the defense and that the trial will proceed as scheduled.
