Trump's porn star hush-money trial enters week four: Here’s what’s happened so far

• Trump's criminal trial enters week four in Manhattan Supreme Court.
• The 77-year-old faces 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to a porn star during his previous White House run in 2016.
• The historic hush-money trial, which still has another three to five weeks to go, marks the first-ever criminal trial of an ex-U.S. president.

For three weeks, Donald Trump has bounced between the campaign trail and Manhattan Supreme Court, where he faces 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, in order to conceal hush-money payments to a porn star during his previous White House run in 2016.

Wednesdays are Trump's free day from the proceedings, and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee used his most recent midweek respite to galvanize his base in swing states Wisconsin and Michigan with a very clear message: He's got a "crooked," "corrupt," and "totally conflicted" judge in his "fake trial" in New York.

He also bragged to supporters that he's seen a bump in the polls thanks to the raft of criminal charges against him.

It has to be a harrowing pace for the 77-year-old, though he has denied multiple reports that he's fallen asleep repeatedly in court, saying that he is "simply" closing his "beautiful blue eyes" and listening "intensely."

The historic hush-money trial, which still has another three to five weeks to go, marks the first-ever criminal trial of an ex-U.S. president. It is also the first of four separate criminal cases against him.

As the trial enters its fourth week, here are the highlights thus far.

Judge Juan Merchan doesn't care if Trump speaks out against him in public, like he did to crowds in Waukesha, Wisconsin and Freeland, Michigan on Wednesday.
