It's a total win-win situation for him. Either he gets to continue attacking the courts and the witnesses or he gets to cry persecution and bias.Honestly, I think Trump is hoping to be incarcerated. He can then use that as "proof" he's being persecuted and this is a political witchhunt.

Has there been any reporting on how Oxbridge Academy has to foot the enormous security bill for this august moment?The judge in Donald J. Trump’s hush-money trial said Tuesday that the former president can attend the high school graduation of his youngest son, Barron, in Florida next month.
For weeks, Mr. Trump had loudly complained outside the courtroom about the prospect of missing the ceremony on Friday, May 17, and had criticized the judge, Juan M. Merchan, for not immediately giving him permission to attend.
But on Monday, before testimony restarted in Mr. Trump’s criminal trial in Lower Manhattan, Judge Merchan announced that he could have the day off from court.
“I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” Judge Merchan said.

It appears it was just Michael Cohen cheating on his taxes for 5 years (counts 1 through 5). No particular Trump nexus. Similarly count 6 is some complicated bank fraud involving taxi medallions and what-not.What is the tax code violation?
Which, if anything, would violate the campaign finance laws by falsely stating the purpose of a payment to a vendor. If the law firm then falsified *their* records about the nature of that payment and did so in NY then they could have been charged potentially with the same crime as Trump. As far as I can tell from this example (which I have heard about before) the ones making the false entry were the Clinton campaign by misstating the purpose of payment.
Trump Appears to Balk at Testifying in NY Hush Money Trial
Donald Trump seems to be hesitating about testifying in his criminal hush money trial, despite his earlier firm assertion that he would “absolutely” do so.
“Well I would if it’s necessary,” Trump answered.
1. Key witness Michael Cohen, a disbarred attorney and convicted perjurer, is making money trashing Trump. 2. Top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo deployed from the #3 office in the Biden Justice Department. 3. The judge’s daughter Loren Merchan has raised millions off this trial, unquestionably requiring his recusal under New York statute. 4. The Manhattan jury pool voted 87% for Biden. If Trump or even his campaign states any of these facts, Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan—who donated to Biden—has threatened to jail Trump....it's a win-win for his base.
Americans who believe no man is above the law will have no sympathy for his performance.

and the sentence
"The judge’s daughter Loren Merchan has raised millions off this trial, unquestionably requiring his recusal under New York statute. "?

I would have a problem with it either.
