"Inside Donald Trump's High-Stakes Criminal Trial"
TL;DR
As Donald Trump's first criminal trial looms, he aims to turn any outcome into a political triumph, even if convicted, in a bid to pave his return to the White House. With Manhattan prosecutors holding advantages and a jury pool from a liberal county, Trump and his team privately acknowledge the unlikelihood of an outright acquittal. Trump plans to personally testify and has been attacking the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, using his bully pulpit, deploying the same tactics that made him a singular political figure over the last decade.
