The former U.S. President was connected to the hearing in New York on Tuesday via video.
The 76-year-old was informed by the judge in the hearing, which lasted only a few minutes, that he was not allowed to publish internal court documents. Trump allegedly covered up unlawful activities before and after the 2016 presidential election in order to improve his chances in the vote. He is accused of paying 130,000 dollars in hush money to actress Stormy Daniels. Trump denies an affair, but not that money has flowed.
