Unique moment in American history, Trump reaches court in case of giving secret money to Porn Star

New York . Former US President Donald Trump arrived in a New York court on Monday to begin jury selection in the case of hush money to a porn star, which is a unique moment in American history. This is the first criminal trial involving any former president of the country and also the first of four impeachments of Trump. The case of Trump giving money to porn star Stormy Daniels dates back to 2016.

At that time, it was revealed that Trump was having an affair with a porn star and it is alleged that he had paid Stormy 1 lakh 30 thousand dollars to hide it. The former President’s company gave this money to his lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid it to the porn star on Trump’s behalf. The lawsuit is moving forward at a time when Trump is also a possible candidate for the Republican ticket for the presidential election this year.

There may be some legal arguments before jury selection begins. When that happens, dozens of people are called into the courtroom to begin the process of finding 12 jurors and six alternates. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 serious counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors say the payments to Cohen were misreported as legal fees to conceal Trump’s true purpose. At the same time, Trump’s lawyers say that this was actually a legal expense and there was no cover-up in it.
