Criminal Trial Begins in Hush Money Case for Mr. Trump: “Good Morning, Mr. Trump admin, April 15, 2024 Former President Trump’s criminal trial is underway in a New York City courthouse. The trial centers on payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 election campaign. The proceedings have attracted significant attention, as Trump is the first former US president to face a criminal trial. During the trial, Trump remained largely silent, listening intently to the proceedings. He exchanged words with the judge, expressing his desire for justice. The trial is expected to last up to two months and is significant for both Trump and the country. Several prospective jurors are present in court from a pool of 500. Trump appeared to be actively engaged in the trial, regularly conferring with his lawyers. He reacted to some statements made by the prosecutors but remained silent when a controversial audio clip was played. Before the trial began, Trump made statements expressing his belief that the case is an “assault on America” and “political persecution”. He emphasized that he views this as an attack on a political opponent and expressed his willingness to participate in the trial. The unprecedented nature of the trial was evident when photographers were ushered in to capture the scene of a former president seated at the defendant’s table. The trial is ongoing and has the potential to have significant implications for Trump and the country. *(Note: The original headline and disclaimer have been omitted. )* New York City
