Former President Donald Trump has arrived at a New York court for the commencement of jury selection in his hush money trial, a significant moment as he faces criminal charges. This trial marks the first time a former U.S. president is facing criminal charges and the first of Trump's four indictments to proceed to trial.
The allegations against Trump involve falsifying internal Trump Organization records to suppress damaging stories during his 2016 campaign, particularly related to his comments about women. The focus is on payoffs to Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, and a Trump Tower doorman, all of whom claimed to have had encounters with Trump. Trump denies these allegations.
