The Trump hush money trial marks a significant moment in our legal and political history, as Donald Trump becomes the first former president to face criminal charges in a trial.
Despite numerous attempts to prevent the trial from taking place, jury selection is set to begin in lower Manhattan. It is anticipated that this process could take at least a week, as a panel of 12 New Yorkers and alternates are chosen.
At the heart of the trial lies a potential sex scandal cover-up that occurred just days before the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors claim that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments that were made with the intention of influencing the election outcome. Trump, on the other hand, has pleaded not guilty and vehemently denied having any relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
This trial is also a major test for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as it may be the only one of Trump’s four criminal cases to go before a jury before Election Day. For the next two months, Trump will have to trade his time on the campaign trail for courtroom appearances, potentially four days a week.
Throughout this legal battle, Donald Trump has used his court appearances as a platform to rally his supporters. It will be interesting to see how this trial unfolds and what impact it may have on the political landscape.
As the trial moves forward, we will be here to provide you with the latest updates and analysis. This is a momentous event that will undoubtedly shape the future of our nation and set a precedent for the legal accountability of former presidents.
