Trump to make history as first US president to face criminal trial
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.

  • Regarding Trump's harsh attack on Cohen on Saturday, Davis mentioned the difficulty in imprisoning Trump for his social media outbursts.

  • Cohen is expected to be a key witness in Trump's trial, focusing on alleged hush money payments before the 2016 election, which commenced on April 15.

Quick Glance: Tesla to Cut 14,000 Jobs, Elon Musk Aims for Lean Brand
