Donald Trump is the first former American president to appear before the criminal justice system. He is on trial in New York for a case of payments intended to buy the silence of former porn star Stormy Daniels.
Shortly before the start of the hearing at the Manhattan court, the Republican candidate once again denounced a “political persecution” by Joe Biden. If he were found not guilty, it would on the contrary be a major victory for the GOP presidential candidate, who is running against Biden in the November 5 election. He faces, in theory, a prison sentence, but this would not prevent him from being a candidate in the presidential election on November 5, but would place the campaign in a completely new situation if he were not found guilty of any crime. The trial is expected to last at least a few more days before it is adjourned for the day, according to reports in the New York Times and The New York Post, which has a team of reporters on site in the courtroom.
