Additionally, Manhattan prosecutors gained access to Trump’s video testimony in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, where he was found liable for sexual abuse, resulting in a $5 million judgment. This testimony may feature in Trump’s March 2024 trial on charges of falsifying records related to a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump deems the investigations politically motivated, insisting on his innocence.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is confronting a series of expanding legal issues. On Thursday, federal prosecutors filed charges accusing him of conspiracy, obstruction, and violating constitutional rights in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump entered a plea of not guilty to all counts.

In a separate case, Manhattan prosecutors obtained access to Trump’s recorded testimony from the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial, in which he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, leading to a $5 million judgment. That testimony could play a role in his March 2024 trial over allegations of falsifying business records tied to a payment to Stormy Daniels.
