Former President Donald Trump will travel from a courtroom in New York to his ritzy private club in Florida this weekend, to mingle with potential running mates and wealthy Republican donors.

Trump is scheduled to spend Thursday and Friday in court in lower Manhattan, where he is on trial and charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a political hush money case.

After that, the former president will return home to Florida, where he will headline the Republican National Committee's spring donor retreat.

The annual weekend traditionally brings together major donors and GOP heavyweights. But this year, the list of "Special Guests" expected in Florida reads like a roster of Trump's shortlisted potential vice presidential picks, according to an agenda obtained by CNBC.

Republican Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, J.D. Vance of Ohio and Tim Scott of South Carolina are all "special guests." So is North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, another reported short-lister. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, fresh off a dog shooting scandal, is also expected. So is New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, one of Trump's fiercest defenders in Congress.
