TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump attended a court hearing in New York for the final pre-trial hearing in the hush money case, with the trial set to begin on April 15. The case involves charges related to hush money payments made to cover up claims of marital infidelity, and it has been adjourned for 30 days to allow time to respond to filings. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, made payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep silent about alleged affairs with Trump. The case could lead to the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president, and Trump has pleaded not guilty, calling it a politically-motivated "witch hunt." Additionally, an appeals court granted Trump a 10-day extension to pay a portion of the $464 million bond in his New York civil fraud case.
