Trump's Hush Money Trial Looms Amid 2024 Primaries and Courtroom Frustration.

Former US President Donald Trump appeared in court by video for a second hearing since being charged with 34 felonies for falsifying business records while making hush money payments to cover up alleged affairs with women. A trial date has been set for 25 March 2024, in the midst of the Republican primaries. Trump's other legal troubles are also heating up, including a defamation lawsuit by author E Jean Carroll and a subpoena for records related to foreign real estate deals made since he entered the White House. Trump grew frustrated during the virtual court appearance and waved his hands in disapproval as he faces a weeks-long trial in the middle of his 2024 campaign.
