Trump is facing charges related to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Former President Donald Trump appears in court for his trial at Manhattan Criminal Court on April 23, 2024 in New York City., and the historic case is drawing attention to past incidents of high-profile litigation involving political stars and allegations of salacious affairs.
At trial, prosecutors raised payments to other accusers -- not part of the criminal charges -- which were also meant to keep negative stories about Trump from becoming public. Other examples, Bragg said, were America Media Inc. payments to another women who alleged to have had a sexual relationship with Trump and to a doorman who peddled a false story about a child Trump allegedly had out of wedlock.
Though there are notable differences in the two cases, including the timeline of payments. Hunter received money over an extended period of time, including after Edwards suspended his campaign, while a one-time payment was made to Daniels just ahead of Election Day.The Clinton settlement with Paula Jones offers few similarities with the current Trump trial beyond allegations of sexual misconduct.
