The hearing is to discuss discovery issues that led to the delay of Trump’s New York criminal trial until at least April. Trump’s lawyers have asked to further delay or dismiss the case. As he entered the hearing, Trump called the case a “hoax.”
Cameras are allowed in the hallway of the courthouse, and Trump has frequently taken the opportunity to speak to media around his appearances. He’s expected to deliver remarks after the court hearing.
Another looming legal threat: The hearing also comes on the same day he is staring down a deadline to secure a bond while he appeals Judge Arthur Engoron’s $464 million civil fraud decision against him, his adult sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization. Trump has until Monday to post bond.
If he can’t somehow find the money by Monday, the New York attorney general may begin the process of seizing some of Trump’s assets to finance his obligation to the state. Trump has appealed the ruling.
