After a years-long investigation by New York prosecutors, Donald Trump is facing his first criminal trial in Manhattan on Monday.

Trump is accused of covering up a $130,000 (€121,992) payment to an adult film star, Stormy Daniels, on business records. Trump allegedly had his former fixer Michael Cohen pay Daniels, while Trump reimbursed Cohen in 2017 and reported the reimbursement as legal fees.
