"Trump's High-Stakes Appearance at New York Criminal Trial Hearing"

Former President Donald Trump is set to attend a hearing in New York on Thursday, where a timetable for the trial in the hush money case against him is expected to be determined. The hearing will also address Trump's motions to dismiss the case, which involves 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. Additionally, Thursday marks a crucial day for another one of Trump’s criminal cases, as the judge in the Fulton County election interference case will be holding a hearing on misconduct claims made against the district attorney and special prosecutor.
