New York Judge Juan M. Merchan has summoned both sides to court Monday to explain what happened, so he can evaluate whether to fault or penalize anyone and decide on the next steps. Trump is charged with falsifying business records. Manhattan prosecutors say he did it as part of an effort to protect his 2016 campaign by burying what Trump says were false stories of extramarital sex.
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.
