Mr Trump will stand trial April 15 on charges related to hush money payments intended to cover up claims of marital infidelity. Mr Trump, the Republican candidate expected to challenge Joe Biden in the November election, has pleaded not guilty and has called the case a politically-motivated “witch hunt” against him. Elsewhere, an appeals court granted the former president a 10-day extension to pay $175m — a portion of the $464m bond in his New York civil fraud case — in a reprieve on the day the full amount against him had been due.
