"Trump's First Criminal Trial: The Hush Money Scandal and Historic Jury Selection"
Former President Donald Trump is set to stand trial in New York on state charges related to a hush money scandal involving porn star Stormy Daniels, marking the first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history. The charges allege that Trump orchestrated a scheme to conceal damaging information from the voting public and undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election. The case involves allegations of hefty payments to suppress stories of extramarital sexual encounters, and while Trump denies the allegations, the trial is expected to delve into salacious details and could have significant implications for the public's perception of elected officials.
