Trump's Hush Money Trial: Judge Rules on 'Access Hollywood' Tape Evidence

TL;DR Summary
The judge in Donald Trump's hush-money criminal trial ruled that the "Access Hollywood" tape will not be played for jurors, but prosecutors can question witnesses about it. The trial has been postponed until mid-April due to a last-minute evidence dump. The case centers on allegations that Trump falsified his company's records to hide payments to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who helped bury negative stories during his 2016 presidential campaign. The judge also denied a defense bid to bar key prosecution witnesses from testifying and has yet to rule on the prosecution's request for a gag order on Trump.
