Adam Reiss is a reporter and producer for NBC and MSNBC.
Opening statements are set to begin Monday morning in the case of the People of the State of New York versus Donald Trump, the first criminal trial of a former president. Former National Enquirer David Pecker is also expected to take the stand as the first witness for the prosecution, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.
Trump has acknowledged repaying Cohen, but maintains the payments were legitimate and he didn’t do anything wrong. Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to the hush money payment to Daniels, which was made in the closing days of the 2016 presidential campaign. The former president, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
