“Donald Trump made his name and fortune and launched a political career in New York before turning his back on the city. But for at least six weeks starting next month he will be a captive resident, the first ex-president in U.S. history to go on trial,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“So how will the presumptive Republican nominee campaign? By putting the courtroom at the center of his strategy.”
“Barring further delay, Trump’s hush-money trial on 34 state felony charges begins April 15. He is required to attend the proceedings, which are scheduled for every day of the workweek except Wednesdays and coming Jewish holidays—putting him in Manhattan for a crucial stretch of the campaign instead of in battlegrounds like Michigan or Nevada.”
“Trump hopes to use that to his advantage by firing up supporters, raising money and casting himself as a victim.”
