Trump's Hush Money Indictment: Legal Peril and Political Resilience.

Former US President Donald Trump is expected to appear in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday to face criminal charges related to a $130,000 hush payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign. Trump is expected to plead not guilty. The case has thrust New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg into the spotlight, while Trump's legal team includes lawyers Susan Necheles and Joe Tacopina. Justice Juan Merchan will preside over the case, which is likely to take more than a year to come to trial.
