"Trump to Testify in Historic Hush-Money Trial"

Former President Donald Trump has stated that he intends to testify in his Manhattan criminal trial, where he faces charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. Despite his assertion, it remains uncertain whether he will actually take the stand, as he has previously wavered on such declarations. The trial, set to begin next week, will involve jury selection, and Trump's decision to testify may depend on the strength of the prosecution's case and potential restrictions on cross-examination.

"Trump's Ongoing Battle with Judges Over Gag Order and Recusal Requests"

Fox News host Howard Kurtz corrected Donald Trump's spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, about the terms of Trump's gag order in his Manhattan "hush money" case, clarifying that Trump can still talk about the case. The gag order, issued by Judge Juan Merchan, prohibits Trump from making public statements about prosecutors, witnesses, or jurors, and their families. Trump has continued to publicly attack Merchan and his daughter despite the order, claiming he would be willing to go to jail for speaking the "open and obvious truth." The trial for the case begins on Monday, April 15.
