A New York judge has scheduled an April 15 trial date in former president Donald Trump’s hush money case.

Judge Juan M Merchan made the ruling after earlier scolding the former president’s lawyers as he weighed when to reschedule the trial following a last-minute document dump caused a postponement of the original date.
