Donald Trump's hush money case is set for a crucial hearing Monday as a New York judge weighs when, or even whether, the former president will go on trial.
The trial has been put off until at least mid-April because of the recent delivery of tens of thousands of pages of records from a previous federal investigation.Donald Trump's hush money case is set for a crucial hearing Monday as a New York judge weighs when, or even whether, the former president will go on trial after a postponement due to a last-minute document dump.
New York Judge Juan M. Merchan has summoned both sides to court Monday to explain what happened, so he can evaluate whether to fault or penalize anyone and decide on the next steps.“This is a witch hunt. This is a hoax. Thank you,” Trump told reporters in the courthouse hallway, invoking terms he regularly uses to describe the legal cases against him.
The case centers on allegations that Trump falsely logged $130,000 in payments as legal fees in his company's books “to disguise his and others’ criminal conduct,” as Bragg's deputies put it in a court document. Bragg's deputies have insisted they “engaged in good-faith and diligent efforts to obtain relevant information" from the federal probe. They argued in court filings that Trump's lawyers should have spoken up earlier if they believed those efforts were lacking.
