Judge Denies Trump's Bid to Subpoena NBC in Daniels Documentary Case

The decision marks another legal defeat for the former president, who faces a trial over alleged hush money payments.

Judge Juan Merchan denied Donald Trump's legal team's attempt to subpoena NBC for materials related to a documentary about Stormy Daniels, a key witness in Trump's upcoming hush money trial.
The ruling is the latest setback for Trump, who faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to alleged hush money payments.
Trump's lawyers argued that the subpoena would reveal collusion between NBC and Daniels, aiming to bias the public ahead of the trial. The judge called these claims speculative and unsupported.
The trial, set to begin on April 15, will explore allegations that Trump concealed payments to Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
In addition to the New York state case, Trump also faces two federal criminal cases and a fourth criminal case in Georgia.
