Summary

In twin rulings Monday, a trial date was set for Trump's historic criminal trial in the hush money case against him, and an appeals court allowed the former president to reduce his bond from $464 million to $175 million in the New York civil fraud judgment against him, his adult sons, and company. CNN's Kara Scannell lays out Trump's rollercoaster of legal developments. Plus, the Department of Homeland Security confirms to CNN that federal authorities have searched mansions in Los Angeles and Miami belonging to musician and producer Sean "Diddy" Combs. A law enforcement source tells CNN it is related to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. However, the source would not specify whether Combs himself was the specific target, citing the sensitive nature of the investigation. Former FBI special agent and CNN security analyst Josh Campbell has more details on the home searches. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
