China’s world-beating electric vehicle industry, at the heart of growing trade tensions with the US and Europe, is set to receive a big boost from the government’s latest effort to accelerate growth.

Merchan could opt to fine Trump $1,000 for each of those violations, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has requested. Trump is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment before the 2016 election to buy Daniels' silence about a sexual encounter she says they had in 2006. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies an encounter took place.
On Tuesday, jurors are expected to hear more testimony starting at 11 a.m. from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who prosecutors say participated in a"catch and kill" scheme to suppress unflattering stories about Trump and help him get elected. The tabloid reached a similar deal to pay $30,000 to a doorman who was seeking to sell a story about Trump allegedly fathering a child out of wedlock, which turned out to be false, according to prosecutors.
