TL;DR Summary

A New York judge denied Donald Trump's attempt to prevent Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels from testifying in his criminal trial related to a 2016 hush money payment. The judge allowed both witnesses to take the stand but placed restrictions on Daniels' testimony. The case alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide money paid to Cohen, who then paid Daniels. The judge also limited the use of the "Access Hollywood" tape as evidence and rejected Trump's request to use a partial "advice of counsel" defense. The trial's start date has been postponed due to the late submission of documents by federal prosecutors.
