The moment likely to be etched into history unfolded in a Manhattan courtroom, where Trump simmered with frustration as a judge thwarted his latest delaying tactics and scheduled a date for his hush money trial.

Unless an unforeseen event occurs, Trump will stand trial on April 15, becoming the first former commander-in-chief to face such legal proceedings.

This development injects a remarkable element into November’s election, breaking yet another presidential precedent.

The impending trial will serve as a significant test of Trump’s strategy, as he seeks to undermine what he perceives as a corrupt legal system and utilize his political movement against his adversaries.

Despite Trump’s efforts to stall multiple legal proceedings simultaneously, there is now a genuine possibility that one of the candidates on the presidential ballot could be a convicted felon, CNN reported.

However, it remains conceivable that Trump could be acquitted in this criminal case.

He faces 34 charges of falsifying business records in connection with hush-money payments made before the 2016 election to allegedly conceal an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied the affair.
