A federal judge has denied former President Donald Trump’s request to dismiss a hush money case against him. The case involves allegations that Trump violated campaign finance laws by orchestrating a scheme to pay off two women to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with him before the 2016 election.
Trump’s legal team argued that the case should be dismissed because the payments were made by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, without his knowledge. However, the judge ruled that there was enough evidence to move forward with the case and that Trump’s involvement in the scheme was apparent.
This latest legal setback for Trump comes as he continues to face multiple investigations and lawsuits both as a private citizen and as a former president. The hush money case is just one of the many legal challenges that Trump has faced since leaving office earlier this year.
The ruling also comes amidst speculation about Trump’s potential run for the presidency in 2024. While Trump has not officially announced his candidacy, he has hinted at a possible run and has continued to remain active in the political arena.
Despite this legal setback, Trump’s supporters remain loyal to him and continue to view him as a viable candidate for the White House in the future. However, this latest ruling serves as a reminder that Trump is not immune to legal challenges and that his past actions may continue to haunt him as he seeks to reclaim the presidency.
