The trial is expected to last for roughly six weeks, with court in session every weekday but Wednesdays, severely limiting Trump’s ability to campaign for president during that time.
The New York criminal trial also presents another problem for Trump’s ability to create a media circus – cameras are not allowed in the courtroom.
It’s a criminal trial, we expect it will be mandatory,” a senior Trump adviser told CNN.
The judge responded saying Trump would not be required to sit for two criminal trials at the same time.
Those findings underscore the importance of Trump’s strategy of delaying the criminal cases he is facing for as long as possible.
