Trump's legal troubles come to a head in New York

When Donald Trump campaigned for president back in 2016, he defended his lifelong hometown with the kind of vigor one might expect from a blunt-talking New Yorker, telling then-rival Sen. Ted Cruz: "When you want to knock New York, you've got to go through me."

But lately, New York has been knocking back. Trump's relationship with the Big Apple took an adversarial turn during his presidency, and recently a series of court actions have summoned him back from his new home state of Florida. 

The cases have drawn out for years, both civil and criminal, state and federal, and "it's not a total coincidence that it's all coming together at once," according to former federal prosecutor E. Danya Perry.
