NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 3: Defense lawyer Emil Bove (C) and Lawyer Boris Epshteyn (L) look on as former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters at the end of today's proceedings in his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 3, 2024 in New York City. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president to face trial on criminal charges. (Photo by Doug Mills-Pool/Getty Images)
