A New York judge says former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial will go ahead as scheduled with jury selection starting on March 25.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan said Thursday that he made the decision after speaking with the judge in Trump’s now-delayed federal election interference case in the nation’s capital.

Donald Trump arrived at NYC court Thursday, where a judge will finalize a trial date in the criminal case charging the real estate mogul with concealing payoffs to alleged lovers to hide potential sex scandals from voters in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump, 77, took a seat at the defense table in a packed courtroom on the 15th floor of the criminal courthouse in lower Manhattan at 9:30 a.m. for a hearing expected to last two to three hours.

The current schedule calling for jury selection to start on March 25 — smack in the middle of Republican primary season — will be the first of Trump’s four criminal cases to head to trial.

Serious question.

"WHEN did lying about sex become a federal offense?

Or any other business of the feral gooberment?

"I",of course,have NEVER lied about sex,but realize I am probably the only one.

BTW,I did NOT have sex with  Joey  Heatherton.
