Donald Trump, the former US president, is heading to court in New York for a historic trial starting Monday.
He’s accused of hiding payments to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star, before the 2016 election. If found guilty, Trump could face up to four years in jail, but he’s pleaded not guilty. The trial is significant because it’s the first time a former president faces a criminal trial.
It’s expected to last six to eight weeks and will involve testimony from key figures, including Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. Despite the legal trouble, Trump remains popular among his supporters.
The outcome of the trial could influence the upcoming election, making it a closely watched event.
