The presumptive Republican nominee is expected in court for a hearing that is happening instead of the long-planned start of jury selection in the first of his four criminal cases to go to trial.

FILE - Former President Donald Trump leaves Manhattan criminal court, Feb. 15, 2024, in New York. Trump's hush money case is set for a crucial hearing Monday, March 25, as a judge weighs when or even whether Trump will go on trial.

The money went to Trump’s then-personal attorney Michael Cohen, but prosecutors say it wasn’t for actual legal work. Rather, they say, Cohen was just recouping money he’d paid porn actor Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf, so she wouldn’t publicize her claim of a sexual encounter with him years earlier. in 2018 to federal charges, including campaign finance violations related to the Daniels payoff.

The material hasn’t been made public. But Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that some of it is “exculpatory and favorable to the defense,” adding that there’s information that would have aided their own investigation and consequential legal filings earlier in the case.
