A judge in New York will rule on if Trump’s criminal case in that city goes to trial in a month….
A judge in Georgia will listen to other lawyers try to get the Fulton County DA off the case and try to get the case thrown out…
Strong odds are that Trump is NOT gonna get much joy……
These ARE criminal cases….
Dueling hearings in former President Trump’s criminal cases Thursday are set to create a blockbuster, split-screen moment in his quest to fight a cascade of legal battles.
In New York, a judge will weigh Trump’s bid to toss his hush money case, the indictment that made the former real estate mogul the first former or current president in history to ever be criminally charged.
Meanwhile, in Georgia, lawyers for Trump and some of his co-defendants will attempt to seek the disqualification of the top prosecutors overseeing their election interference case after the duo’s alleged romantic relationship was exposed in court filings.
The simultaneous hearings in two of his four indictments mark the latest display of Trump’s legal woes colliding.
With the possibility that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) could testify herself in Georgia, Trump was reportedly mulling attending the hearing, which would have been the first time the former president appeared in the Atlanta courthouse for that case.
But Tuesday, Trump’s lead Georgia attorney indicated he would not travel to Georgia and instead go to the proceeding in New York, though Trump is known to change his plans at the last minute.
Trump has had a front-row seat at several of his court proceedings in recent months, even if he was not required to show up. His next stop will be at Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday for the hush money case, which legal observers have viewed as the least serious batch of charges he faces…

In addition to the 15 point swing from R to D in NY 3 there was a special election for Oklahoma state house of reps yesterday where a Republican won by 5 points. In a district Trump carried by 26.
