Trump's hush money trials tody

Trump’s hush money trial begins today. The GOP’s presidential nominee will become the first former commander in chief to stand trial in a criminal case when he faces 34 counts of first-degree falsification of business records. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg alleges that o concealed a $130,000 payment to buy the silence of adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have a sexual relationship with Trump, ahead of the 2016 election. The payment rises to a felony offense because Trump reimbursed personal lawyer Michael Cohen with checks from the Trump Organization “for legal services rendered,” which Bragg contends is false. Trump faces a maximum of four years in prison, although experts believe that even if found guilty, he’s unlikely to see the inside of a cell.
