"Trump's Appearance in New York Court for Hush Money Case and Fraud Bond Deadline"
Former President Donald Trump is set to attend a pretrial hearing in Manhattan regarding a criminal trial over falsified business records related to reimbursements for a "hush money" payment to an adult film star. The trial was originally scheduled to begin Monday but was derailed when new material relevant to the case was turned over to the two sides by the Justice Department. Trump's defense has requested a trial delay or dismissal, accusing the Manhattan District Attorney's office of conducting an inadequate effort to obtain documents. The hearing will address prosecutors' efforts to obtain relevant documents, and a new trial date will be set if necessary.
