Former President Donald Trump’s bid to dismiss criminal charges denied



A New York Judge denied Donald Trump’s bid to have the criminal charges against him dismissed. Judge Juan Merchan told Trump and his lawyers that he will move ahead with jury selection on March 25th. That trial could last about six weeks. Mr. Trump objected to the move, which he says, will prevent him from campaigning for his re-election bid. He faces felony charges for allegedly covering up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. NBC News reporter Laura Jarrett reports.

  1. Time Left in Joe Biden's Term as President
    339days

  2. What a novel defence of a criminal offence, saying that any prosecution would be political persecution and cause unfsir disrress to the defendant. Im sure that should work for my next parking offence๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

  3. The Trump family cartel
    " I don't recall "

  4. WITCHHUNTS!!!! VOTE TRUMP 2024!!

  5. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

  6. Who the H does he think he is. He's not the president anymore. He's CITIZEN Trump. He can't make legal demands

  7. We all know it's a scam for political interference

  8. Definitely worth looking into

  9. "The first ever prosecution of a former president." It's hilarious that Trump thinks this a ploy to keep him busy so he cant campaign. They're called laws, and sadly he's only being tried for the ones he was caught breaking.

  10. The man loses more in court than anyone I've ever seen, and he's still tied in polls with Biden.
    Is there no end to the stupidly of Americans ?

  11. Good news. Alina Habba is putting together the appeal ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  12. God bless America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and God bless President Donald Trump MAGA 2024-2028

  13. You know how politicians say "the American people are smart?" This comment section of support is proof, that's not true. You people are extraordinarily stupid.

  14. This wasn't political persecution.

    Wait……

  15. Keep it up, Dems crooks just getting more votes for Trump.

  16. New york is a gross place with too many demons to judge a man like trump ..they dont have the moral ground to judge trump . Grossley negligent judge and ruling

  17. Must be nice to have a judge in your pocket. They will do everything they can to discredit Trump. They are crooked and evil.

  18. LOCK TRUMP UP ๐Ÿ” โ›“๏ธ ๐Ÿ”— โ›“๏ธ ๐Ÿ”‘ "FREEK"

  19. Seems like his problem. Maybe he should have gotten all this over instead of delay.

  20. WOW. Trumps crying because he broke the law and has to do what ALL folks have to Sit in court and listen respectfully TRUMP NEEDS A BIGGER SHOVEL

  21. TRUMP LOVES TO LIE = 2024$$

    Those who wish to be President

    Must practice what they teach.

    As Godโ€™s people need inspiring

    To believe what they preach.

    Take heed therefore, unto yourselves

    You overseers of the flock

    Or the voters shall cast you out

    For your futures are not of rock.

    Life may place you in deep waters

    Though it doesn't wish you to drown.

    It's your past record that lets us know

    Who you are as you smile or frown.

    If you wish to be remembered

    From the truth you must never part.

    Power corrupts the best of us

    When we stop listening to our heart.

    Politicians who wish to be praised by history

    Must earn their fame by living the truth.

    Any who continue to mislead and deceive

    Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.

  22. Since TRUMPโ€™s attendance is required – In Trumpโ€™s defiant fashion, I bet he wonโ€™t attend with any regularity!

  23. Seeing comments about Taylor Swift having her own private jet tells you everything you need to know about MAGA loons…can they be anymore brainwashed than this …

  24. I typed in Wanker in an old German enigma machine, it decoded to dtrump, coincidence?

  25. Trump is innocent.. Biden has already been caught laundering millions of dollars.. Biden also opened up the border and let in millions of illegal immigrants and thousands of terrorists… How about focusing on something important for once

  26. Itโ€™s called โ€˜putting the system on trialโ€™ โ€ฆ itโ€™s a real champ; just like, โ€˜thereโ€™s no such thing as bad pressโ€™
    Trump is a master at both techniques

  27. "Bad president" โ€” watch it from Oats Studios.

  28. Well at least nbc has something to opine abt now for weeks on end

  29. trumps Bid for the White House will also be Denied by the American People.

  30. The only reason numb nuts waanted to be seen was to show off his 100th facelift. Gross

  31. GREDIBILITY -2024 ??

    What evil has planned for our harm

    Credibility will transform too good.

    Adhering to morals gives us peace

    Teaching us to respond, as we should.

    Sometimes we must go against the flow

    Questioning what our shepherdโ€™s may say.

    For they are not God, only human

    And for their credibility, we pray.

    By truth we can stay undiminished

    Keeping ourselves entire and whole.

    Avoiding human hate and mistrust

    While struggling to preserve our soul.

    With honor we obtain uprightness

    And by love and compliance we gain grace.

    Credibility gives us proper goals

    Improving the standard of our race.

    Those who laugh at the straight and narrow

    Will not hear God's answer to their cry.

    Those who yearn to earn their credibility

    Must not steal, persecute or lie.

  33. This is fantastic!!

    If you are accused of a zillion cases (and have the money and/or manpower to fight them) then all you have to do is keep fighting and prolonging the trials for a hundred years or more.

    You wonโ€™t be convicted in your life time . . . at least if you are an American and โ€˜loadedโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‚

  34. Nothing good can come from NY.
