Trump's legal team also objected to the judge's ruling that jury selection will begin on March 25, The New York Times magazine says.
According to them, the six-week trial will interfere with Trump's presidential campaign. The judge also rejected Trump's team's stay motions.
To Trump the incident is treated as an accounting crime.
According to the indictment, Trump is suspected of falsifying his company information to cover up payments made to Clifford to keep her silent about her relationship with Trump in 2006.
Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has admitted to making the payment on Trump's behalf. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
