Quick Glance: Trump's Attempt to Influence 2016 Election: Hush Money Trial Begins

An prosecutor alleges that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.

The trial, potentially lasting up to two months, will require Trump to spend his days in a courtroom instead of on the campaign trail.

The indictment includes 34 counts of falsifying business records, punishable by up to four years in prison.

The case sheds light on efforts to suppress stories, known as 'Catch-and-Kill' in tabloid industry, to prevent potentially damaging revelations.

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.

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Quick Glance: Michael Cohen Criticizes Trump's Barron Graduation Ban Complaint as Ridiculous

Michael Cohen describes Trump's complaint about a potential ban on attending Barron's graduation ceremony as comical.

Cohen points out that Trump apparently did not attend the graduation ceremonies of his other children.

Cohen is expected to be a key witness in Trump's trial, which revolves around allegations of hush money payments to silence an affair with Stormy Daniels.

HuffPost advocates for making high-quality journalism freely accessible and seeks support to continue to ensure this.

Quick Glance: Trump's Sex Life Unveiled as Hush Money Trial Begins

The opening day of Donald Trump’s criminal trial delved deep into his tabloid-fodder sex life, as lawyers and the judge debated how many salacious details jurors should eventually hear as they decide whether he broke the law to cover up hush money payments.

The historic first trial of a former U.S. president began Monday in a storied courthouse that has seen a host of high-profile cases over the years, from rap stars to movie moguls, but never one with such potential consequences for the nation and the world.

Despite Trump's open contempt for the trial, he was not disruptive in court but rather disinterested. However, Trump's lawyers managed to prevent jurors from being informed about specific allegations of sexual misconduct from 2016.

Prosecutors plan to highlight Trump's relationship with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and other women in court to show that he paid hush money to protect his political image.
