Trump's Legal Maneuvers: From Hush Money to Presidential Immunity

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump plans to raise an advice-of-counsel defense at his upcoming criminal trial in New York related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, but insists it's not a formal defense and won't waive attorney-client privilege. The payments have raised questions about potential campaign finance violations. Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, has implicated him in the scheme. Trump faces 91 felony charges across four indictments and has denied any wrongdoing, claiming the charges are politically motivated.
