The judge in Donald Trump‘s hush money trial has sensationally allowed prosecutors to introduce evidence of an alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal but not claims that it happened while his wife Melania was pregnant with their son Barron.
Judge Juan Merchan said prosecutors could bring evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated with the National Enquirer to suppress the McDougal allegations before the 2016 election.
But he stopped short of letting them bring up salacious details of the alleged relationship in front of a jury.
The ruling kicked off a dramatic start to jury selection in the historic trial as Judge Merchan wouldn’t say if Trump could miss court next month to attend 18-year-old Barron’s high school graduation.
