Trump Takes ‘It All In’ At Hush Money Trial

Thursday was Day 10 of former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in Manhattan. Before testimony resumed, Justice Juan Merchan held a second hearing on new allegations that Trump violated his gag order. Later, Keith Davidson, a lawyer for Stormy Daniels, walked the jury through the deal he brokered between Trump and the adult film star in exchange for her silence. Hugo Lowell, political investigations reporter for The Guardian, shares the latest details from inside the courthouse. And in headlines: Hamas officials said they would meet with negotiators in Egypt to continue talks for a ceasefire in Gaza, President Biden condemned the violence breaking out on college campuses across the country, and Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law that bans and criminalizes the sale of lab-grown meat in the state.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast</a>Follow us on Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/</a>For a transcript of this episode, please visit <a href="http://crooked.com/whataday" target="_blank">crooked.com/whataday</a>
