"Trump's Hush Money Trial Threatens Voting Rights and 2024 Campaign"

Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, warned that the hush money trial in New York is evidence of the U.S. acting like a "banana republic," claiming it's a political "witch hunt" orchestrated by President Joe Biden's administration. The trial, related to alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, is set to begin on Monday, with Trump facing 34 felony charges and pleading not guilty. Leavitt criticized the trial as "election interference" and accused the judge of being biased, while Trump's attempts to delay or change the trial have been unsuccessful.
