At the end of a hearing which took place this Thursday, February 15 and which was attended by

Donald Trump

, the judge rejected all requests from the defense to invalidate or postpone the trial. The latter will therefore begin in the middle of the presidential campaign.

What he is accused of in this affair is to have falsified the accounts of his companies based in the State of New York, to pay the actress, so that she would remain silent, at the time of her victorious 2016 campaign, over an alleged relationship.

But Donald Trump faces other criminal charges. One before the Georgia courts for trying to overturn the result of the election in the state in 2020, and where its lawyers are trying to demonstrate that there is a conflict of interest due to a relationship between prosecutor Fani Willis and one of his collaborators.

And there are two before federal justice, one in Washington for trying to prevent the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election by Congress – Donald Trump appealed to the Supreme Court –, the last in Miami, in the case of classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence.
