The first criminal trial of former American president Donald J. Trump is set to begin on Monday in Manhattan. Manhattan district attorney Alvin L. Bragg has charged Trump with 34 felonies related to falsifying documents, stemming from allegations of Trump attempting to conceal a sex scandal involving a porn star.
The trial, which could reshape the political landscape ahead of Election Day, is expected to have jury selection lasting two weeks or more, potentially spilling into June. Trump himself is expected to be present in the courtroom for much of the trial, bringing his signature campaign theatrics to the proceedings.
The charges against Trump mark a major turning point in the legal battles that have surrounded him since leaving office. The outcome of this trial could have significant implications for his political future and legacy.
Political analysts are closely watching this trial, as it could have far-reaching consequences for Trump’s political career and the broader Republican party. Stay tuned to ‘Poh Diaries’ for the latest updates on this historic trial.
