Donald Trump has appeared in court via video for a second hearing since becoming the first US president in history to be arrested and charged with a crime.
The former president was on screen in Manhattan Criminal Court so Judge Juan Merchan could make sure he understood the terms of the protective order in the case.
The judge imposed the order after Mr. Trump targeted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan himself on social media when he was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records while making payments from hush money to cover up alleged affairs with women.
A trial date has been set for March 25, 2024, in the middle of the Republican primaries.
Mr. Trump’s other legal troubles are also heating up. On Monday, author E Jean Carroll amended her defamation lawsuit against Trump to include the disparaging comment he made about her at a CNN town hall after he was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming Ms. Carroll in a jury trial in New York.
The former president responded by defaming her again on Truth Social.
