Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, is set to make history as he becomes the first American president to face a criminal trial. The trial, which is scheduled to begin at 10 am on Monday morning, will see Trump facing charges of falsifying his business records in New York state.
The charges stem from allegations that Trump made a “hush money” payment to the porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election to conceal an extramarital affair she claims to have had with him a decade earlier. Trump has denied the affair and any wrongdoing in the case.
Despite numerous attempts by Trump’s legal team to delay the trial, it is set to proceed with jury selection as the first step. Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday evening to express his frustrations, claiming that he is facing a biased judge, a corrupt prosecutor, and a legal system in chaos.
The trial is expected to last for up to two months and will feature testimony from key players in Trump’s past, including the former publisher of The National Enquirer, David Pecker, and Stormy Daniels herself.
As Trump prepares to face this historic trial, the eyes of the nation are on the courtroom as the former president fights to clear his name amidst a flurry of legal challenges.
