Donald Trump’s Hush-Money Trial Begins
Former President Donald Trump makes history on Monday, as he becomes the first current or former president in the nation’s history to go on trial.
Fox News reports that Trump’s hush-money trial, which will get underway in a New York City courtroom, will have an instant impact on his 2024 election rematch with President Joe Biden.
The former president is being tried on 34 state felony charges and is accused of falsifying business records in relation to hush-money payments during the 2016 election, which he made to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair with the adult film actress.
The former President has repeatedly denied falsifying business records, as well as the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels.
Trump’s legal team has tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to further delay or postpone the trial.
The unprecedented trial is the first of Trump’s four criminal cases, including two for his alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden and another for mishandling classified documents — to go to trial.
