Ex-President Donald Trump is confronting a growing array of legal challenges. On Thursday, he was formally charged with conspiracy, obstruction, and violations of constitutional rights in connection to the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Trump pleaded not guilty to these charges.
In another legal development, Manhattan prosecutors have secured access to Trump’s videotaped testimony in the defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll. In the case, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse, leading to a $5 million award for Carroll.
This recorded testimony could play a significant role in his upcoming trial in March 2024, where he faces accusations of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to Stormy Daniels. Trump has dismissed all of these legal proceedings as politically motivated and maintains his innocence.
