Results for: Stormy Daniels Payment

Closing arguments are set for Tuesday in the criminal trial of former President Trump, where Manhattan prosecutors will present their case against him for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Judge Juan Merchan has denied Trump’s request to speak during the closing arguments. The jury will deliberate on a verdict after hearing summations from both sides.

Former President Donald Trump’s first criminal trial commenced on Monday, with prosecutors alleging that he committed 34 felonies related to falsifying business records. The charges stem from a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign to prevent her from disclosing an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Trump denies the encounter and any wrongdoing.
