"Trump's Crucial Day in Court: Hearings in Manhattan and Georgia"

A New York judge is expected to rule on whether the Manhattan district attorney's case against Donald J. Trump can go to trial as early as next month, marking the first criminal prosecution of a former American president. The charges stem from hush-money payments to a porn star, and if the judge rejects Trump's request to throw out the charges, a firm trial date will likely be set. The district attorney has framed the case as an example of Trump's interference in an election by concealing crucial information from voters.
