BBC | Donald Trump in Court for Historic Hush-Money Trial

Donald Trump is in court as his long-awaited hush-money trial gets under way in New York.

The trial, which is expected to last at least six weeks, marks the first time ever that a US president has faced a criminal trial.


Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.


He also faces 34 counts of fraud, but denies any legal wrongdoing - and also denies having an affair with Daniels.
