It will cap a consequential week in the criminal cases the former president is facing as he vies to reclaim the White House in November.
Prosecutors allege that Trump sought to illegally influence the 2016 race through a practice known in the tabloid industry as “catch-and-kill” — catching a potentially damaging story by buying the rights to it and then killing it through agreements that prevent the paid person from telling the story to anyone else.
The charges center on $130,000 in payments that Trump’s company made to his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen. He paid that sum on Trump’s behalf to keep from going public with her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier. Trump has denied the encounter ever happened.
