Trump Pleads Not Guilty in High-Profile Hush Money Trial
April 15, 2024Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges in a Manhattan hush money trial.
Jury selection has been impeded by expressed bias among potential jurors, and Trump's motion for the judge's recusal was denied.
Prosecutors have successfully admitted evidence of Trump's alleged falsification of business records.
There's a potential for Trump to face contempt charges for violating a gag order.
The trial is polarizing, with strong reactions from potential jurors, and includes high-profile potential witnesses such as Trump family members and associates.
Trump risks becoming the first major-party presidential nominee to run for office as a convicted felon, with the possibility of prison time.
The next court hearing is scheduled for April 23, with live coverage from Fox News Channel, Fox Business Channel, and Fox News Radio.
