Trump's Legal Troubles and Trial Proceedings

Multiple former associates of President Trump, including his former attorney Jenna Ellis, have pleaded guilty to offenses related to the 2020 election. Trump's growing list of potential state witnesses could pose a significant liability as he deals with multiple lawsuits while on the campaign trail. In the recent testimonies, Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen, provided little new information, mostly focusing on reading previous statements made by Cohen himself. The case is primarily centered around documents, particularly Trump's representation of his financial condition. The judge has already ruled Trump liable for fraud, and the trial now pertains to determining the final dollar figure. Trump's decision to attend the trial seems to be motivated by political considerations for the 2024 campaign, rather than a legal strategy.
