"Trump's Historic Criminal Trial: The Day of Reckoning Arrives"
Donald Trump is set to make history as the first former president to face a criminal trial, with jury selection beginning for a case involving hush money payments to cover up a potential sex scandal before the 2016 election. The trial will test Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and could impact Trump's potential presidential campaign. Prosecutors allege Trump falsified business records to hide the reimbursement of hush money payments, with key witnesses including Michael Cohen and Hope Hicks. Trump's defense may focus on attacking the credibility of witnesses and arguing the legality of the payments, while the trial also delves into the "catch and kill" deals involving Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
