Donald Trump's E. Jean Carroll defamation trial could provide a glimpse into what the former president's New York criminal case could look like, CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen argued. That case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, charges Trump with 34 counts of document falsification related to hush-money payments the then-2016-presidential candidate made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
At the time, Trump was attempting to avoid another "damaging scandal" following the attention around his "Access Hollywood" tape, in which he was recorded bragging about how he could sexually assault women, Eisen recounted in a clip flagged by Raw Story.
