Former President Donald Trump is set to appear in a Manhattan court Monday for a hearing in his delayed “hush money” case — on the same day he faces a $454 million fraud bond deadline.
Trump, 77, will make his third appearance in Manhattan Supreme Court after Justice Juan Manuel Merchan delayed the estimated six-week-long criminal trial.
The judge ruled to postpone the trial until at least April 15 after Trump’s attorneys said they needed more time to dive into thousands of pages of newly disclosed evidence that were dumped on them by prosecutors relating to Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams’ case against Trump’s ex-fixer Michael Cohen.
Manhattan prosecutors said in court papers last week that they didn’t expect any additional delay to the trial after revealing fewer than 270 documents turned over were relevant to Trump’s case.
Trump pleaded not guilty last year to 34 felony counts in his Manhattan criminal case after allegedly covering up $310,000 in “hush money” payments made before the 2016 election.
The alleged payments were made in an attempt to stop porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal from going public to disclose their secret trysts with Trump.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump is the first of four criminal cases to head to trial and the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president.
Meanwhile, the Republican presidential candidate also has to secure the $454 million bond amount before Monday’s deadline in the New York civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James in 2022 ***

Can only hope that trump seeks revenge in his own special way, I will contribute to that!
When is the last time someone was prosecuted for paying blackmail? It’s not illegal.
It’s impossible to not notice. My wife’s family is made up of mostly virulent anti-Trump idiots.
Thanks for naming the EVIL individuals.
“The alleged payments were made in an attempt to stop porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal from going public to disclose their secret trysts with Trump.”
I don’t think that is illegal. Probably more illegal to charge “hush money” than to offer it.
If there was blackmail, I could see your point. But she didn’t attempt to blackmail him. He was trying to be proactive and head her off at the pass.
Sent some $$$ to Trump yesterday.
That too. Also not illegal. I actually don’t believe that they ever got together. It’s not his style.
$125,000 to a billionaire is like $50 to us. Here’s $50, go away.
Whatever anyone did in past years is held only by those who do not understand forgiveness and prefer revenge. Trump’s time is coming.. I want to see it.. The Lord said revenge was His to apply.
Adding, I live in GA.
When Trump came to a court some months ago.. The black folks lined the streets cheering Trump. There are more for him than against. They don’t like how he has been treated.. They identify.
I had a similar situation, but I announced early on that I WILL NOT discuss politics or religion. They tried a few times but I always invoked the “NPNR” rule and it kept the family civil. I just let them think what they wanted to think. You are never going to change their minds.
Looks like Trump is cornering Lacreature James on the bond
thing.....she’s damned if she does and damned if she doesnt.
Not a word on how great she is “so let’s make her governor.”
Her gloating does not help her political ambitions.
The hate against Trump.. The attacks that are fueled with hate.. This is unreal!!!!
How can one man be so attacked for so long, with destruction the goal.
Tell me why the reaction is so hard when the charges are made up from anything they can make work.
To hear the hard accusations and hate.. I ask why.. To me, the only answer is spiritual.. The world does not know nor admit to being controlled by demons. You don’t see people who know God, spew such hate.
I heard Trump has to pay a 100 million dollar fine for jaywalking when he was 7
How can it be referred to as “hush money” when nothing was hushed?
Cohen took out a loan in his own name to pay for it and Trump never took any tax deduction for it. Exactly which laws were broken?
If he is found guilty, every signer of a Non-Disclosure Agreement should post corporate secrets on X the next day.
EC
Do you have some kind of inside knowledge? Prove what you say instead of stating your opinion as fact.
Her gloating does not help her political ambitions.
Indeed she has alarmed Wall Street
yes
Good thing the Biden family leads by example. Not sure what example.
