"Judge Allows Discussion of Infamous Trump Tape in Hush Money Trial"
TL;DR
A judge ruled that prosecutors can discuss the "Access Hollywood" tape in Donald Trump's hush-money trial, but it will not be played for the jury. The trial, tentatively set for mid-April, will be the first of Trump's four criminal cases to be heard by jurors and the first prosecution of a former American president in the nation’s history. The evidence prosecutors want to introduce, including the tape and allegations of sexual assault, aims to establish Trump's motive for approving a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels.
