Donal Trump Hush Money Case

First day of Trump hush-money trial ends without any jurors being picked

The case, "The People of the State of New York versus Donald J. Trump," revolves around Trump's alleged involvement in a hush money scheme to silence two of his mistresses before the 2016 election. Trump pleaded not guilty to these charges, but more than half of the first group of potential jurors admitted they couldn't be impartial towards him due to their dislike for him in a city where his popularity is low. The trial centers on payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, totaling $280,000, which allegedly aimed to prevent them from disclosing past affairs with Trump.
