Donald Trump’s Trial of the Century
Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case
  • Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

  • The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

  • The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

  • Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Quick Glance: Trump Secures $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case
  • Donald Trump and his co-defendants have successfully secured a $175 million bond in their civil fraud case in New York, as indicated in a court filing.

  • The bond was provided by Knight Specialty Insurance Company, owned by the privately-held Hankey Group. The chairman stated to ABC News that he considers himself a supporter of Donald Trump.

  • Hankey mentioned that his company was initially engaged in discussions to take over the original $464 million bond in the case. Following a reduction by a New York appellate court last week to $175 million, Hankey renewed efforts to take on the bond.

  • Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyers have appealed the ruling in the case, claiming that the disgorgement amount was unconstitutional, disproportionate, and flawed.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser
  • Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

  • The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

  • The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

  • Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial
  • The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

  • Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

  • The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

  • A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial
  • Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan rejected Donald Trump's request to postpone his hush-money criminal trial until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims in another case.

  • Trump's lawyers sought to adjourn the New York trial indefinitely until his immunity claim in the Washington, D.C., election interference case is resolved.

  • The primary allegation in the hush-money case is that Trump falsified his company's internal records to conceal payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

  • Trump and his lawyers have been pushing for more delays, raising concerns about the judge's impartiality and attempting to make the case about the 2016 election, while prosecutors argue against postponing the trial.
