On Friday, after a full jury was seated in Donald Trump‘s criminal hush-money and election interference trial in New York, a hearing was held to air out the former president’s bad acts, giving him an idea of the sort of questioning he could face should he opt to testify.

The process is known as a Sandoval hearing. As Law&Crime previously reported, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s office filed a notice with the court on Wednesday requesting its desired parameters for the hearing aimed at undermining Trumps’ credibility before the jury.
