The judge overseeing former President Trump's New York hush money case said Monday that jury selection in the case will begin on April 15.

Why it matters: The date cements that the case will be the first of Trump's four criminal indictments to go to trial, meaning the former president will face criminal prosecution as he campaigns for another term.
