Donald Trump’s historic ‘hush money’ trial to begin in New York | BBC News

Donald Trump will set foot in a New York courthouse on Monday and become the first former US president to stand trial in a criminal case.

He is accused of falsifying his business records to disguise a hush-money payment made to Stormy Daniels, a former adult film star, shortly before the 2016 election.

Mr Trump, 77, faces a maximum of four years in jail if convicted, but could avoid jail time and be fined instead.
He has pleaded not guilty.
