Welcome back, Deadline: Legal newsletter readers. Donald Trump got bad news and good news this week. He has a firm trial date and a gag order in the hush money case. But he also won a lower bond in his civil fraud appeal. And the Supreme Court he helped build heard arguments over the fate of abortion pill access. Jury selection in the hush money case is set for April 15. Judge Juan Merchan smacked down the defense’s attempt to delay the trial further over alleged discovery violations.
The former president’s counsel pressed a First Amendment defense, which D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan previously rejected in the federal election interference case. While the Georgia prosecution is moving forward, it’s unclear yet if Fani Willis will stay on it. The defense appeal of Judge Scott McAfee’s disqualification order is pending in the case, which still doesn’t have a trial date. And one of Trump’s co-defendants, John Eastman, got some rough news this week.
