Trump has repeatedly asked the judge in his NYC hush-money case to move the March 25 trial date.
Trump's Jan. 6 trial is set for March 4 in DC, and will take more than a month, his lawyer argued.
The NYC judge recently told Trump he won't move the date, but invited him to ask again in February.

With two lengthy criminal trials scheduled for March, a lawyer for an overbooked Donald Trump has repeatedly asked the judge in the former president's Manhattan hush-money case to consider rescheduling, only to be rebuffed, court filings show.
