Trump’s dueling day in court as hush money, Georgia cases collide: Live updates 

Former President Trump’s legal battles are set for a split-screen moment on Thursday as high-stakes hearings in his two state criminal cases get underway.

Trump is expected to join his lawyers in New York as a judge there weighs whether to toss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) hush money indictment, Trump’s first set of charges.  

Simultaneously, attorneys representing Trump and some of his co-defendants in his Georgia election racketeering case are set to convince a judge in Atlanta to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and her office over an alleged romantic relationship between Willis and a top prosecutor. 

The livestreamed proceeding could include testimony from Willis and others in her office. 

Both hearings are scheduled to kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET.
