Donald Trump appears to be on course to win the Republican nomination for president this year, at least according to the polls, but is running against a backdrop of unprecedented legal chaos that could yet derail his campaign.
The candidate, already the first president in American history to be impeached twice, also became the first to face criminal charges last April when he was indicted in New York on accusations that he had falsified his business records to conceal “hush money” payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign to stay silent about their extramarital affair a decade earlier.
