Former US President Donald Trump is set to stand trial in New York on state charges related to a sex scandal involving porn actor Stormy Daniels. This will be the first criminal trial of a former president in US history.
Donald Trump It was a claim he feared would cost him votes in the 2016 presidential election - that he and porn actor Stormy Daniels had embarked on an affair, and he paid her a hush money sum to stay quiet, prosecutors allege.
Many details of the case have been public since 2018, when federal prosecutors charged Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen with campaign finance crimes in connection with a scheme to bury not only Daniels’ claims, but other potentially damaging stories from Trump’s playboy past. They would revisit it, then abandon it again as they pursued Trump on multiple fronts over the last five years, going to the Supreme Court twice to obtain his tax records and prosecuting his company and a top executive for tax fraud.
