Donald Trump is expected in court today for a New York hearing related to his criminal hush money trial. The hearing will determine when or whether more than 100,000 pages of potential evidence against Trump will be released. Trump’s lawyers are seeking to delay or dismiss the trial after prosecutors dropped 200,000 documents just weeks before the trial was set to begin. The former president faces a deadline to pay $464 million or secure a bond from a private company before the New York attorney general can start trying to seize his properties. This hearing is significant as it could have major implications for the criminal trial and potential financial consequences for Trump.
