Exciting details about Trump’s trial.. What is happening in New York?

He explained that other litigation halls on the upper floors of the court will be closed before the trial as part of security precautions.

Over the weekend, the New York Police Department began erecting barricades along the edge of the sidewalks around Trump Tower and the Manhattan Criminal Court building in Midtown.

Protests are expected at these locations and the police have vowed to be prepared.

Trump is the first former US president to face criminal charges, and he is scheduled to be charged, fingerprinted and photographed in a midtown Manhattan court, and his lawyers have said he will plead not guilty.

The New York case is just one of the investigations facing Trump, who is running again for the presidency.

The US Department of Justice is investigating both Trump’s actions in the 2020 election and his retention of top secret documents after he left the White House in 2021.

For his part, the office of the former US president stated that Trump will then return to Florida and deliver a speech in Mar-a-Lago at 00:15 GMT, Wednesday.

Stormy Daniels case

• The investigation centers around the payment of $130,000 in 2016 to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in exchange for covering up an affair she says she had with Trump a decade ago.
• Stormy Daniels did not stick around for long and published a book in 2018 in which she revealed her entire story with him.
• Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified before the jury, noting that in 2019 he confirmed to a congressional committee that he paid the money at the express behest of the Republican candidate, who returned the amount to him as soon as he entered the White House.
• Trump denies the case and calls it a “witch hunt”.
