"Prosecutors Blast Trump's 'Wild' Claims in Hush Money Trial"
Prosecutors accuse Donald Trump of making "wild and untrue" accusations about the timing of evidence disclosure in his hush money criminal case, seeking to further delay the trial. Trump, facing 34 counts of falsifying business records, has pleaded not guilty to hiding a $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. The trial has been delayed until mid-April, with a hearing scheduled for March 25 to address Trump's requests to dismiss the case or delay the trial. Trump's lawyers argue the payment was to spare embarrassment, not boost his campaign, while state prosecutors claim most new evidence is irrelevant or duplicates. This is one of four criminal indictments against Trump, who is seeking to regain the U.S. presidency.
