FILE - Former President Donald Trump leaves Manhattan criminal court, Feb. 15, 2024, in New York. The infamous "Access Hollywood" video in which Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women sexually without asking permission will not be shown to jurors at theJudge Juan M. Merchan said Manhattan prosecutors can still question witnesses about the 2005 tape, which wasn't made public until the final weeks of Trump's 2016 White House campaign.
, one of his four criminal indictments, centers on allegations that he falsified his company's records to hide the true nature of payments to Cohen, who helped Trump bury negative stories during his 2016 presidential campaign. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal campaign finance violations involving the hush-money payments, as well as other, unrelated crimes, and spent about a year in prison before being released to home confinement because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump was not charged in the federal probe.
Merchan did not rule on the prosecution's request for a gag order that would bar Trump from making public statements about jurors, witnesses and others involved in the case. The judge said he would issue a separate ruling on the defense's request that he delay the hush-money trial indefinitely until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims Trump raised in his Washington, D.C., election interference case.
