The trial of former President Donald Trump on charges of falsifying business records began Monday, with prosecutors arguing that he conspired to influence the 2016 election by concealing a payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump’s defense team countered that there was nothing wrong with attempting to influence an election and that the payments were legitimate legal fees. The prosecution’s case hinges on proving that Trump was motivated by a desire to conceal an alleged sexual encounter with Daniels, while the defense will seek to discredit Daniels and minimize the significance of the payment.

In a historic trial, prosecutors have accused former President Trump of orchestrating a criminal conspiracy to influence the 2016 election and conceal evidence. Trump’s defense attorneys, however, portray the case as politically motivated and without merit. The trial is expected to feature testimony from key witnesses, including Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

In the hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, former Defense Department special counsel Ryan Goodman predicts that publisher David Pecker’s testimony will provide ‘dynamite evidence’ of alleged cover-ups and election influence. Pecker, expected to be the prosecution’s first witness, will reportedly testify about a scheme involving payments to suppress potentially damaging stories about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
