A recent court hearing in the case involving former President Donald Trump focused on a Sandoval hearing, a common legal procedure used to determine the admissibility of a defendant's criminal history in court. During this hearing, the judge will evaluate Trump's criminal background and decide how much information prosecutors can present if Trump chooses to testify.
In addition to the Sandoval hearing, the court is also considering a motion filed by the defense team. Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, expressed objections to the cases that prosecutors intend to bring up during the proceedings.
