"Prosecutors Seek to Discredit Trump with Past Legal Issues in NY Criminal Trial"
Manhattan prosecutors plan to use Donald Trump's past legal issues, including recent civil fraud trial verdicts and a tax fraud conviction of his company, to discredit him if he testifies at his New York criminal trial. They intend to question him about false testimony, a defamation case, a dismissed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, and a settlement with the New York attorney general. The judge will hold a Sandoval hearing to determine what prosecutors can ask if Trump takes the stand.
