From a New York Times story by Maggie Haberman headlined “Trump’s Well-Worn Legal Playbook Starts to Look Frayed”:

In other legal maneuvering and in seeking to shape public opinion about cases involving him, Mr. Trump has experienced regular reversals in court in recent months even as he begins his campaign for another term in the White House.
