NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 10: Defense attorney Susan Necheles for former U.S. President Donald Trump arrives for today's proceedings in his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 10, 2024 in New York City. 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 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president to face trial on criminal charges. (Photo by Todd Heisler-Pool/Getty Images)
