    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Testimony is expected to continue Tuesday, with the court hearing from the third prosecution witness, Gary Farro, a banker who helped Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen open accounts.

    Prosecutors alleged the former president had violated the order – which bars him from making public statements about witnesses and jurors – 10 times, and the judge concurred in all but one of those cases.

    The meeting, which lasted three hours, was organized to help the men bury the hatchet and discuss potential joint fundraising efforts, according to one of the people, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share details of the private get-together.

    Last week, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker’s testimony provided jurors with a stunning inside look at the supermarket tabloid’s “catch-and-kill” practice of purchasing the rights to stories so they never see the light of day.

    The collision of so many cases within a five-day span last week underscores the challenges Trump will face as he campaigns again for the White House while his legal matters intensify.

    The first week of testimony at Donald Trump’s hush money trial was the scene-setter for jurors: Manhattan prosecutors portrayed what they say was an illegal scheme to influence the 2016 presidential campaign by burying negative stories.
