Trump's Hush Money Trial: Judge Rules on 'Access Hollywood' Tape Evidence

The judge in Donald Trump's hush-money criminal trial ruled that the "Access Hollywood" tape will not be played for jurors, but prosecutors can question witnesses about it. The trial has been postponed until mid-April due to a last-minute evidence dump. The case centers on allegations that Trump falsified his company's records to hide payments to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who helped bury negative stories during his 2016 presidential campaign. The judge also denied a defense bid to bar key prosecution witnesses from testifying and has yet to rule on the prosecution's request for a gag order on Trump.

"Insights and Revelations from Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial"

The first week of Ken Paxton's impeachment trial in Texas concluded with four prosecution witnesses taking the stand, revealing key themes in the case. Paxton's defense team challenged the loyalty and evidence of the witnesses, arguing that reporting Paxton to the FBI was an act of betrayal and that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Prosecutors focused on Paxton's alleged misconduct, claiming that he used his position to benefit a friend and donor. The defense argued that Paxton did not exceed his authority and that he hired an outside lawyer due to the lack of investigation by his agency. Both sides presented their political arguments, with the defense warning of potential political consequences and the impeachment team countering that elections alone cannot protect the public from abusive office holders.
