What to know about Trump's hush money trial

  • Former President Donald Trump's hush money trial resumed today in New York City for the fourth day. Alternate jurors were selected before the court held what's known as a Sandoval hearing to discuss the scope of the prosecution's cross-examination if Trump decides to testify. Trump later told reporters he will take the stand.
  • A man set himself on fire outside the courthouse this afternoon, just before the trial took a break for lunch. The man, whom police identified as Maxwell Azzarello of St. Augustine, Fla., was in the designated protest area.
  • Yesterday, state Judge Juan Merchan swore in 12 jurors after dismissing two who were already selected after they raised concerns about personal information that was made public.
  • Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels at the end of the 2016 election cycle to keep her quiet about her allegation that she and Trump had a sexual encounter. Trump has denied the affair.
