Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial
- A prosecutor alleged that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.
- The defense argued that Trump was 'innocent' and attacked the integrity of the former Trump confidant who is now the government's star witness.
- The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.
- Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
