A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected a last-minute bid by Donald Trump to halt his hush money criminal trial over defense complaints that jury selection was unfairly rushed.
Justice Marsha Michael issued the ruling just minutes after a brief hearing. The arguments in the mid-level appeals court came hours after the jury selection process concluded in Trump`s criminal trial, which is currently taking place roughly two miles south.
The ruling will allow opening arguments to take place as soon as Monday in Trump`s criminal trial.
