Prosecutors in New York plan to question former President Donald Trump about his recent spate of high-profile courtroom losses to challenge his credibility should he take the stand in his hush-money trial, a filing publicly released Wednesday indicates.
The list of the former president's misconduct, originally submitted to the court in March by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, includes Trump's more than $460 million civil fraud judgment from earlier this year, gag order violations, verdicts from civil federal juries finding him liable for defaming and sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll, and sanctions for what a judge said was a "frivolous, bad faith lawsuit" against Hillary Clinton, according to CBS News. The lawsuit, dismissed in 2022, accused Clinton and others of plotting to hurt Trump's 2016 campaign by claiming he colluded with Russia's government.
