More than one year after prosecutors pressed charges in Manhattan against former President Donald Trump, they are presenting their evidence to a jury.
The prosecution is expected to speak for 40 minutes, while lawyers defending Trump will spend 25 minutes. Prosecutor Alvin Bragg said in a court filing that Trump tried to conceal an"illegal scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election." Bragg has alleged that Trump falsified records in an effort to prevent damaging stories from emerging during the 2016 presidential campaign. Bragg says Trump falsified records to hide payments to attorney Michael Cohen for him to pay Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and former doorman Dino Sajudin.
