For the first time in history, prosecutors are presenting a criminal case against a former American president to a jury.
Prosecutors to make history with opening statements in hush money case against former president Donald Trump
Unfolding as Trump vies to reclaim the White House, the trial will require him to spend his days in a courtroom rather than the campaign trail. He will have to listen as witnesses recount salacious and potentially unflattering details about his private life. Hearing the case is a jury that includes, among others, multiple lawyers, a sales professional, an investment banker and an English teacher.
Prosecutors say Trump obscured the true nature of the payments in internal records when his company reimbursed Cohen, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2018 and is expected to be a star witness for the prosecution.
