In Trump's NY criminal case, prosecutors file their so-called "Sandoval" notice—disclosing uncharged prior bad acts they intend to use at trial to impeach his credibility.
The list in the document rattles off the NYAG civil fraud case, the E. Jean Carroll case, and more.
"If the defendant chooses to testify, the People intend to inquire regarding the following"
Read the full list of litigation prosecutors intend to confront Trump with, if given the green light by the judge.
A Sandoval hearing establishes the permissible scope of cross-examination in order for the defendant to make an informed decision about whether to testify.
The notice shows that, for Trump, the list of prior bad acts, is quite long.

Trump's attorneys are currently arguing AGAIN to delay his New York criminal trial at an appellate court — this time, on the immunity and other issues.
By the DA's count, that's more than 10 attempts to adjourn his trial.
One of the grounds cited by Trump's lawyer Emil Bove now:
Justice Merchan ordered that the parties must receive permission to file any more 11th hour pretrial motions.
Bove calls them "unacceptable and unconstitutional restrictions on our ability to file defense motions."
Bove pivots to the presidential immunity arguments.
He notes that Trump's argument here is "different" than the one in D.C.
"This argument is evidence of official acts cannot be offered at criminal trial against a former president."
