Donald Trump’s rape trial will begin next week after a judge rejected his lawyer's request for a one-month delay, saying the former president cannot make public statements about the trial and then claim it's prejudicial to him and reason for a delay.
state court on criminal falsification of business records charges had created such a wave of negative publicity that a one-month cooling off period was needed before the rape trial begins.
Kaplan said a portion of recent media coverage of Trump's indictment was “of his own doing” as Trump made public statements on his social media platform, in press conferences and in interviews. He noted that it wasn't necessary to find jurors who had never heard of Trump's legal woes as long as jurors agreed to be fair and impartial regardless of anything they'd heard.
