Donald Trump is due in court on March 25th, 2024 to stand trial on criminal charges over the hush money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. That falls during the Republican presidential primaries and is less that eight months before the general election.

He added, “This is exactly what the Radical Left Democrats wanted.” He also claimed the case is “election interference.” (The Guardian)
