37% : Trump is charged with 34 felonies in the case and has pleaded not guilty.
36% : New York hush money Stormy Daniels declares she is 'set to testify' in Trump hush money trial Key players: Adult film star Stormy Daniels, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen Why it matters: Daniels will certainly be asked on the witness stand to revisit the details of the alleged affair with Trump.
26% : E. Jean Carroll defamation Trump 'unleashed his followers to go after' Carroll, her lawyer tells jury Key players: Judge Lewis Kaplan, columnist E. Jean Carroll, Carroll attorney Shawn Crowley, Trump lawyer Alina Habba Why it matters: Because a jury already found that Trump had sexually abused and defamed Carroll, his continued assertions that she lied about the attack in a department store changing room open him up to further legal action.
25% : As this is a criminal trial, Trump will be required to be present for that testimony.
24% : Should the jury rule against Trump a second time, he could owe Carroll millions more in damages.
17% : E. Jean Carroll defamation Judge warns Trump he can be tossed from courtroom Key players: Judge Lewis Kaplan, columnist E. Jean Carroll, Trump lawyers Alina Habba and Michael Madaio, Carroll lawyer Shawn Crowley Why it matters: Kaplan has shown little patience with Trump's courtroom theatrics, nor his lawyers' attempts to dismiss or delay the trial.
