Criminal Trial,Former President,Donald J. Trump

The first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history is commencing in Manhattan, with Donald J. Trump facing charges of falsifying business records. Trump claims it is an attack on a political opponent.

The first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history is getting underway Monday in a crowded Manhattan courtroom, with both sides preparing for the arduous task of seating a 12-person jury in the case of The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump .Flanked by his attorneys in room 1530 of the Manhattan Criminal Court, Trump is seated at a table where countless defendants before him have appeared.

The allegations, New York State Justice Juan Merchan is expected to say, 'are, in substance, that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election.'He'll continue by mentioning the names of two well-known key witnesses in the case, both of whom Trump considers archnemeses: his former attorney Michael Cohen, and Stormy Daniels, the adult film star.
