Former President Donald Trump made a high-profile appearance in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday as part of an ongoing investigation into his business practices.
The hearing, which took place in a packed courtroom, focused on Trump's efforts to keep his financial records hidden from investigators. Trump's lawyers explained this as an attorney-client privilege and that the investigation is politically motivated.
Prosecutors, however, argued that Trump's claims of privilege are baseless and the investigation was a legitimate effort to uncover financial wrongdoing.
Eventually, the judge ruled against Trump, ordering him to turn over the requested documents. While the ruling was a blow to Trump's legal team, it was not unexpected given the judge's previous rulings in the law case.
Outside the courthouse, supporters and detractors of the former president clashed in heated protests. Some Trump supporters hailed his courtroom appearance as a sign of strength and defiance, while his critics saw it as a desperate attempt to avoid accountability.
The investigation into Trump's finances might continue for some time, and the former president will likely remain a central figure in the national political conversation for the foreseeable future.
