Watch again as Donald Trump’s criminal trial over alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels continues in New York City today (18 April).
Mr Trump made history once again on Monday morning when he became the first American president to ever stand trial on criminal charges.
He is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in a bid to conceal a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016 in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, in order to silence her over an alleged affair in 2006.
