UNPARALLELED TRIAL. Former US President Donald Trump speaks to the media with his lawyer Todd Blanche after leaving the courtroom for the day at Manhattan Criminal Court during his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, in New York City. A panel of 12 jurors was sworn in on April 18, 2024, for the unprecedented criminal trial of a former US president.
The alleged crime is less significant than the indictments in three other investigations revolving around Trump’s attack on the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, and his hoarding of secret documents. Trump could face jail time, although a fine or probation is more likely, analysts say. “This is going to be the beginning of probably the most sensational trial in American history,” former prosecutor Bennett Gershman, now a lecturer at Pace University, told AFP.
A hearing will be held Tuesday at which the Judge Juan Merchan will decide if Trump is already in contempt of court due to his outbursts during the jury selection process. He had planned to resume some semblance of normal campaigning with a rally in North Carolina Saturday, but bad weather forced the outdoor gathering to be called off.
