Former President Donald Trump is set to make history on Monday as he becomes the first sitting or former president in the country’s annals to face trial. According to Fox News, Trump’s trial concerning hush-money payments is set to commence in a New York City courtroom, with significant implications for his potential 2024 electoral contest against President Joe Biden.
Facing 34 state felony charges, Trump stands accused of manipulating business records in connection to payments made during the 2016 election to silence Stormy Daniels about an alleged affair. Despite Trump’s consistent denial of both falsifying business records and the alleged encounter with Daniels, the trial proceeds.
Repeated attempts by Trump’s legal team to delay or postpone the trial have been unsuccessful. This unprecedented legal proceeding marks the commencement of the first of Trump’s four criminal cases, including allegations of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden and mishandling classified documents, to reach trial.
