"Trump's Upcoming Criminal Trial Hearings: What You Need to Know"

A Manhattan judge will decide whether to proceed with the criminal trial against Donald Trump for his alleged efforts to cover up an affair with a porn star during the 2016 campaign. Trump's lawyers have sought to dismiss the indictment on various grounds, including claims of selective prosecution and interference with his presidential campaign. The case, involving hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, is seen as posing the least risk to Trump compared to his other criminal cases. The judge's ruling on Thursday will determine whether the trial proceeds as scheduled on March 25.
