Illustration: Ryan TrefesA federal appeals court put on hold a U.S. House committee subpoena to a former Manhattan prosecutor, postponing Thursday’s closed-door testimony in Republican lawmakers’ inquiry into the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The brief order, issued late Wednesday by the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said the court put the subpoena on hold temporarily so that a three-judge panel could consider whether to delay the subpoena more broadly while the appeal of a lower-court order plays out. The lower court had ordered the prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz , to appear for the deposition, which had been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday.

Donald Trump answered questions under oath Thursday from lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James , as her office prepares for a trial later this year on its allegations that the former president and others engaged in civil fraud. The deposition marked Mr. Trump’s second with lawyers for Ms. James, who has accused the former president, his business and three of his adult children of a decadelong scheme to falsely value real-estate assets. The lawsuit seeks $250 million in alleged ill-gotten gains, in addition to asking a judge to effectively cripple the Trumps’ ability to operate their company in New York. Mr. Trump has denied wrongdoing and said that Ms. James, a Democrat, is motivated by politics.

Trump Indictment: How a Potential Arrest Could Play Out A New York grand jury voted to criminally indict Donald Trump for his role in a payment to a porn star, kicking off a process in which the former president will likely be required to come to Manhattan to face charges.

The state judge presiding over Donald Trump’s prosecution in New York faces a delicate balancing act in allowing the former president to exercise his right to free speech while trying to discourage him from using threatening rhetoric about the case. Both before and after his indictment on 34 felony charges, Mr. Trump has launched rhetorical attacks against State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, Manhattan prosecutors and others connected to the case, which centers on hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. In social-media posts, Mr. Trump warned there would be violence if he were charged and said the judge and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg were biased against him. One post showed a picture of Mr. Trump holding a baseball bat, next to a picture of Mr. Bragg’s head.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in to New York authorities and make his first appearance in state court Tuesday to face criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. Mr. Trump, who spent the night at Trump Tower, is expected to arrive midday at the Manhattan courthouse, where he will be formally booked and fingerprinted, as any other criminal defendant who surrenders in New York. But his case is anything but routine: No former president before Mr. Trump had been charged with a crime, and not since a police officer stopped Ulysses S. Grant for speeding in his horse-drawn buggy in 1872 has a current or former president been arrested.
Former President Donald Trump was charged with 34 felony violations of falsifying records to hide hush-money paid to suppress potentially damaging sexual allegations during his 2016 campaign for the White House. During a brief court appearance Tuesday, Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges, which were brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg .

Donald Trump has hired an experienced white-collar defense attorney to boost the legal team that will defend him from criminal charges in New York, his campaign said, on the eve of the former president’s surrender and first appearance in court. The new addition, Todd Blanche, who had been a partner at firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, has experience representing defendants in Mr. Trump’s orbit, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Igor Fruman , a key figure in the first impeachment inquiry into the former president.
Donald Trump arrived in New York to face criminal charges related to hush-money paid to a porn star during his 2016 political campaign, as the city braced for the unprecedented surrender of a former president. Mr. Trump left his Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida around noon Monday, traveling in a motorcade along roads lined with supporters before boarding his jet, with its television tuned to Fox News carrying the departure live. After landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York, he went to Trump Tower in Manhattan to meet with his lawyers and other advisers.
Donald Trump has said that he can’t get a fair trial in Manhattan and accused the presiding judge of being biased against him. The two defense lawyers representing Donald Trump in the first-ever prosecution of a former president are an unlikely pair—divergent personalities who bring a mix of swagger and subtlety to a case with steep legal and political implications. Joe Tacopina wears expensive suits, speaks fluent Italian and is equally comfortable defending high-profile clients in front of a jury or on the television-news circuit. Susan Necheles prefers to operate under the radar, a meticulously prepared advocate who isn’t afraid to rein in a client or tear up a plea agreement at the last minute if a defendant she represents is unhappy.

One of Donald Trump’s lead lawyers mounted a public offensive Friday morning, saying the newly indicted former president, who is expected to surrender Tuesday, would never take a plea deal in New York and was shocked by the charges. Lawyer Joe Tacopina appeared on major television networks to defend his client from charges he said were unprecedented and unfair. He said there was “zero” chance Mr. Trump would take a plea in the case, which centers on his role in making a hush-money payment to a porn star before the 2016 election.
New York officials and Donald Trump’s legal team began making preparations for the former president to surrender Tuesday to face charges for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, as one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers mounted a public offensive against the indictment. A grand jury handed up the indictment, sought by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg , on Thursday afternoon. The charges aren’t public and are expected to remain sealed until Mr. Trump makes an initial appearance in court, scheduled for 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday. He is first expected to report to the district attorney’s office that morning, when he will be arrested, fingerprinted and photographed.

A New York judge will soon unseal criminal charges against Donald Trump related to a payment to a porn star. The alleged cover-up that followed the payment is likely to be as important for the future of the case. A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Mr. Trump after an investigation of the hush-money payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels in the final stretch of his 2016 presidential campaign. Mr. Trump’s then-lawyer, Michael Cohen , paid Ms. Daniels $130,000 in October 2016 to keep her from going public with allegations of an alleged sexual encounter with the then-candidate.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ’s pursuit of criminal charges against former President Donald Trump could provide a case for the history books while also testing one of New York City’s top prosecutors, a newcomer to political office who built his career in state and federal law enforcement. Mr. Bragg, 49 years old, took office in January of last year, becoming the first Black district attorney in Manhattan after winning the nomination in a crowded Democratic field and then triumphing in his first run for public office. He campaigned by touting his lengthy record in law enforcement, which includes stints with the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York and the New York attorney general, as well as sharing his personal experiences living with crime and aggressive policing while growing up in Harlem during the 1980s crack epidemic.
