(New York, NY) — Former President Trump left a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday unable to delay his criminal hush money trial involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Jury selection in the trial is expected to begin March 25th. Trump faces 34 charges relating to falsifying business records of hush money payments given to Daniels. Trump’s attorneys tried to delay the trial, saying it hurts Trump’s ability to campaign in the upcoming Presidential election. Trump called it “an election interference case” and “a disgraceful situation.”
