"Trump Faces Contempt Hearing in Hush Money Trial: Live Updates"

TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump is facing felony charges in New York related to a 2016 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, with jury selection expected to take up to two weeks and the trial to last six to eight weeks. The judge has given Trump's defense team 24 hours to submit their proposed defense exhibits or be barred from using them, and has set a hearing on holding Trump in contempt for allegedly violating a limited gag order. Trump's attorney argued that Trump's social media posts were limited responses to attacks from witnesses, while the judge allowed for a response in a paper filing.
