Judge denies Trump request to toss 'hush money' case, jury selection to begin next month

The judge in Donald Trump's "hush money" case denied a dismissal motion from the former president Thursday, setting jury selection for March 25. At the same time, a hearing is underway in Georgia over alleged misconduct from the district attorney in the state's election interference case against Trump. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane has more on Trump's cases, as well as the latest on Capitol Hill.

Ok boys, you heard him.
Let all convicted prisoners out.
They may be guilty, but that doesn't mean they committed the crime.

Poor Donnie is losing a small piece of his freedom. I hope he gets used to that because it should get a lot worse as time goes on.

Donald Trump should have thought about this s*** before he broke all these laws and thought he was above the law.

[franciscopenaranda]

The law also said that he should not interfere in the election.

[Kooster]

I'm personally SICK and TIRED of Trump turning EVERY SINGLE time he talks to the press into a campaign stop.

[The_Algorithm_]

Annnnd here's the entire reason he ran so early. He wanted to make sure he was well into his campaign when his trials started popping up so he can claim "election interference" when they make him actually show up to deal with the consequences to his actions.

If you can't do the time...don't do the crime!

[anidadron]

Trump should be in jail, not on the election trail.

[Mr.KayKayJay]

How can anyone vote for a guy who has no idea how our court systems work???

[JT]

So paying someone to keep an affair quiet because it might influence how people vote ISN'T election interference? Is that what you're saying Donnie?

[patricialawlor]

why are the republicans going away again? This is the 3rd time when work needs to be done. Their salaries should be 1.00 as they do nothing

[TheHSIHP]

He's not "supposed to be in South Carolina". He's supposed to be in court. That's how it works.

[theskyehiker]

Hahaha. Let me think🤔. He’s in court because he is being tried for felony criminal acts. Regardless of whatever his other jobs are, criminal court takes precedence. Don’t do the crime Donnie then you won’t have to go to court.

[marilynquade]

He shouldn't be allowed to talk in the courthouse.

[IndigenousArtst]

0:45 If he was worrying about not being able to campaign for office if he has to sit in a courtroom, then he shouldn't have announced his candidacy after he already knew there were indictments coming down. He's a whiner.

[wik]

Once and for all he should not be allowed to give interviews and speeches within a one mile radius of the courthouse, period!

[kevinbrowndc]

“Even if he is s guilty of something there is no crime”
Poor Donald, poor poor Donald. What a pitiful 😢victim. Aww

[cynthiataylor]

Poor Donny! He is in court instead of on the campaign trail. Obviously he is being held accountable for his criminal behavior. His behavior has brought him to this point. Time to face the result of his behavior.

[beckyhenkel]

You started running when all those cases were already in motion!

[DavidRamos-srcx]

You shouldn’t be anywhere but in prison. 😂
