When former President Donald Trump’s “hush-money” trial begins next week, his attorneys won’t even know what witnesses prosecutors will call to the stand until they enter the courtroom.

Week one of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against the former president was marked with debate over whether President Trump has violated his gag order with his references to witnesses, and the judge declined to intervene.
