"Trump's Half-Billion Dollar Deadline and Hush Money Hearing"

Judge Aileen M. Cannon's court order in Trump's federal classified documents case has raised concerns among legal experts, likened to a scene from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Trump faces upcoming hearings in New York for the hush money trial and a deadline to pay a civil judgment, while legal wrangling continues in the Georgia state case on the 2020 election. The D.C. federal case on the 2020 election awaits a Supreme Court ruling, and Trump's legal battles continue without him being in jail before trial.

"Trump's Trial Date and Ballot Ruling Awaited in Florida and Colorado"

Key decisions are pending in the criminal and civil cases against former President Donald Trump, including the scheduling of the Florida classified document trial, a decision on disqualifying the prosecutor in the Georgia election-interference case, a Supreme Court ruling on Trump's eligibility for the Colorado ballot, and an upcoming oral argument on presidential immunity. Last week saw developments in the D.C., Georgia, Florida, and New York cases, with the Supreme Court freezing pretrial proceedings in the D.C. case pending a decision on presidential immunity, and closing arguments in the Georgia case to determine the prosecutor's potential conflict of interest.

"Key Moments in Donald Trump's Ongoing Legal Battles"

Donald Trump's attorneys sought to delay one criminal trial until after the 2024 election and disqualify the district attorney prosecuting another case. The judges did not make decisions on Friday, but the hearings could significantly impact when or whether Trump will face trial. Trump's legal calendar remains uncertain, with only his New York criminal trial set to begin in March. Defense attorneys accused the prosecutor of "fraud on this court" in the Georgia racketeering case, while in the classified documents case, the judge did not indicate when a new trial date might be set. Trump's attorneys also demanded more discovery from government entities, alleging conspiracy to bring charges against him. The judges raised questions about evidence and potential remedies, but no decisions were made.

"Trump's 'Super Thursday' Trials: A Split-Screen Showdown of Inflection Points and Key Rulings"

Dueling hearings in New York and Georgia on Thursday will create a split-screen moment for former President Trump's legal battles, with one hearing focusing on his bid to dismiss the hush money case and the other seeking to disqualify prosecutors in the Georgia election interference case due to alleged romantic ties. Trump's legal team is navigating a chaotic week, with the possibility of him attending the Georgia hearing and a significant decision expected in the hush money case. Despite the salacious nature of the allegations, court watchers warn that the hearing may not make the expected splash due to evidentiary fights and the judge's focus on preventing harassment or undue embarrassment for the prosecutors.

Trump's Legal Battles: Anger, Defense, and the Trial

The Trump Trials continue with various criminal and civil cases in federal and state courts. In New York, the Trump legal team will call witnesses in the civil fraud trial defense, while in Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis will appear at a Washington Post Live event. The federal classified documents case in Florida is set for trial on May 20, and Trump's legal team has requested that his federal case on the 2020 election be televised. Meanwhile, in the state business fraud case in New York, Donald and Ivanka Trump testified last week. If convicted of a felony, Trump can still run for president as there are no specific requirements in the Constitution, although some lawsuits have been filed arguing against his eligibility.

Trump Trials: A Week in Review and a Look Ahead

Federal prosecutors suggest that former President Donald Trump may have violated the conditions of his release by purchasing a gun during a campaign stop in South Carolina, which could be discussed at an upcoming hearing on a potential gag order. In a separate civil case in New York City, a fraud trial against Trump and his company is set to begin, with the New York Attorney General alleging that the Trump Organization inflated property values to defraud lenders and insurance companies. Meanwhile, Trump faces various charges in Georgia, Washington D.C., Florida, and New York, with ongoing legal battles and trial dates being scheduled. The issue of hearsay arises in the D.C. federal election case, where witnesses may testify about comments they heard outside of court to show how those comments influenced Trump's actions, but not as evidence of election compromise.

Trump Trials: Gag Orders and Recusal Requests - A Recap and Future Implications

Prosecutors are seeking a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump to restrict his comments about the criminal cases against him, citing concerns about prejudicing potential jurors and intimidating witnesses. In other developments, a former Justice Department official is trying to move his charges to federal court in Georgia, a civil lawsuit alleging accounting misdeeds by Trump's business is set to begin in New York, and rules have been issued for Trump and his defense attorneys to review classified evidence in a federal case in Florida. The trial dates for these cases range from March to May, with the possibility of delays. Legal scholars are debating whether states can invoke the 14th Amendment to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot, but the Justice Department has not made this argument in the D.C. case related to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
