Summary

Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in Manhattan has already served up some extraordinary moments. On Friday, former Trump aide Hope Hicks’s tearful testimony undermined the defense that Trump’s legal team will attempt to mount. On Monday, new evidence tied the payments to mistress Stormy Daniels tightly to Trump, and he was again held in contempt for attacking jurors, this time threatened with jail. We talked to Kim Wehle, a professor of law and former assistant U.S. attorney, about why these developments signal still more damning revelations ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.

1:15.0	Donald Trump is currently embroiled in the fourth week of his hush money trial in
1:22.3	Manhattan where he faces 34
1:24.4	felony counts related to a criminal scheme designed to unlawfully influence the
1:28.9	2016 election. On Friday, former Trump aid and trusted confidant Hope Hicks testified, and by many
