Live updates, news, and analysis of the trial involving Trump’s hush money

Former President Donald Trump has described the ongoing college Pro-Palestine protests as a ‘disgrace’ during his recent trial for criminal hush money. The trial, which is currently underway, saw tabloid media mogul David Pecker take the stand and testify about his involvement in the ‘catch-and-kill’ scheme at the heart of the case.

Pecker revealed that he ran negative stories about Hillary Clinton in the National Enquirer to benefit Trump’s campaign. He stated, “In writing positive stories about Mr. Trump and covering the election, and writing negative stories about his opponents, is only going to increase newsstand sales of the National Enquirer.”

Trump, who has been vocal about the trial on his Truth Social platform, continued to express his frustrations on social media. He criticized Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan, calling the trial a ‘kangaroo court’ and questioning the judge’s impartiality.

The trial also saw witness statements in the classified documents case being made public and an agreement reached over Trump’s $175 million bond to appeal the civil fraud trial ruling against him.

As the trial continues, with live updates provided by Alex Woodward, the focus remains on the legal battles faced by the former president and the revelations coming to light during the proceedings. Trump’s comments on the Pro-Palestine protests add another layer of controversy to an already high-profile trial.
