Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial is underway

Judge: Jury can be told about Trump’s affair, but not that wife was pregnant


New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said that jurors can be told about the former president’s past affair with a Playboy model,
but not that Donald Trump’s wife was pregnant at the time.


Trump attorney Todd Blanche argued that the details of Trump’s affair with #Karen #McDougal were not part of the crimes charged and would poison the jury against the defendant.
