Trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen finished testifying in the New York case on Monday. The duration of Trump's own defense is not known, though they have already begun calling witnesses.
The Trump's Trials team breaks down why prosecutors have a timeline problem, what Michael Cohen's testimony so far has shown, and why it may all come down to a question of sex and privacy in the end.
Cohen once boasted of being Donald Trump's "protector" but now he is testifying to lying for Trump's benefit, including about payments made to an adult film star ahead of the 2016 election.
The courtroom has continued to be one of the main arenas for Trump's 2024 campaign, welcoming his allies from across the country in for a day of testimony.
Jurors heard Cohen confirm two key details on the stand: Trump knew about a settlement negotiation to Stormy Daniels and Trump directed Cohen to make that payment because of the election.
Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, has spent the last several years in legal battles with former President Trump. She has taken the stand to testify against him in a criminal trial.
Attorney Keith Davidson, a key witness who represented Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, is back on the stand to continue testifying against Trump in New York.
David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, told prosecutors he killed stories that potentially could have hurt Donald Trump during his run for the White House in 2016.
David Pecker's testimony resumed this morning after a short time on the stand on Monday and lasted until mid-afternoon. The trial is set to pick back up on Thursday morning.
Jury selection is underway for Donald Trump's hush-money trial — the first time in U.S. history a former president is being tried on criminal charges. A decision could come by summer.
Jurors will be asked to identify the the news and social media programs they use, podcasts they listen to and if they have supported or been a member of white supremacist and extremist groups.
They said a delay would ensure that Trump's legal team has sufficient time to review a new tranche of materials in the case. Jury selection is scheduled to begin March 25.
At a hearing Tuesday in New York, which former President Donald Trump attended via video conference, Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to obey a protective order or face a possible contempt ruling.
