"Trump's Legal Woes: Hush Money, Fraud, and Jury Selection"
TL;DR
Prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money trial seek to question him about civil cases involving sexual abuse and fraud if he chooses to testify, including allegations by writer E. Jean Carroll and a case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The prosecutors argue that these cases are relevant to challenging Trump's credibility, but defense lawyers warn that introducing too much prejudicial material could provide grounds for appeal. The trial, which began on Monday, is the first of four criminal indictments Trump faces and may be the only one to reach a verdict before the election.
