epa11242852 Former US President Donald Trump (2-L) appears with his lawyer Susan Necheles (L) for a pre-trial hearing in a hash money case in criminal court in New York City, New York, USA, 25 March 2024. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 election. Judge Juan Merchan is expected to set a new start date for the trial after it was delayed following the disclosure of new documents in the case. EPA/SPENCER PLATT / POOL
