On a historic day in the United States, a New York jury heard opening arguments in the hush-money case against Donald Trump — the first criminal trial against a former president in the country’s history.
Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo on Monday laid out the allegations against Trump, who is accused of falsifying business records to conceal payments made to an adult film star with whom he is accused of having a sexual relationship.
The prosecution says the charges against Donald Trump amount to election fraud.
But Trump again claimed the trial was part of a political conspiracy.
