Today, US time, marks the beginning of Donald Trump’s slew of criminal trials.
In what’s been coined the ‘hush money’ case, the former President is being accused of falsifying his company’s business records in connection to a payment to an adult film star in the run-up to the 2016 election.
After a judge just last week dismissed Trump’s motion to toss out the indictment altogether, or delay the trial further, the 45th President will now must fight a criminal trial and an election campaign at the same time.
Today on The Front Page, Politico magazine senior writer and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori joins us from New York to discuss the trial that could define the US election.
