NEW YORK (Sputnik) - Former US President Donald Trump will not appear in court on Thursday for a hearing in his so-called hush payment case, his defense attorney Gedalia Stern told Sputnik on Wednesday.
Trump was scheduled to appear in the New York Supreme Court on Thursday morning, according to court records.
"He is not going to appear tomorrow," Stern said.
In April, Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in connection with his alleged involvement in a $130,000 hush money payment and subsequent cover-up involving a purported affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
