Trump's Arraignment Dominates Headlines as Poll Numbers Rise and SNL Skewers Him.

Former US President Donald Trump will face criminal charges over hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first ex-president in US history to face criminal charges. Trump is facing more than 30 charges of business fraud, though details are not yet public. Trump's 2024 campaign has raked in more than $4m in donations since the indictment and new polling shows him widening his lead over chief GOP primary rival Ron DeSantis. However, polls also show most Americans agree with the charges and more still want him held accountable for the Capitol riot and 2020 election interference.
