Former President Donald Trump finds himself entangled in legal proceedings on both the East Coast and in the nation's capital as his hush money trial continues in New York City while the U.S. Supreme Court deliberates over his potential immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency.
In New York, the trial centers on a hush money scheme aimed at suppressing damaging stories about Trump during the final days of the 2016 campaign. Trump faces 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in connection with payments made to silence potential scandals. The trial, overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, marks the first of four criminal cases against Trump to go before a jury.
