Takeaways from the start of week 2 of testimony in Trump's hush money trial
Prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money trial are working on filling in the details of how they say the Republican pulled off a scheme to bury damaging stories to protect his 2016 campaign. It's the second week of testimony in the historic case. Prosecutors are setting the stage for their star witness: Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, who arranged hush money payments on Trump’s behalf. Also on Tuesday, the judge fined Trump $9,000 for repeated violations of a gag order in the case. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty. He has cast the prosecution as an effort to hurt his 2024 bid.
