Donald Trump arrived on Monday at a New York court for the start of jury selection in his hush money trial, marking a singular moment in American history as the former president and current White House hopeful answers to criminal charges.
It's the first criminal trial of any former US commander-in-chief and the first of Trump's four indictments to reach trial. Because he is also the presumptive nominee for this year's Republican ticket, the trial will produce the head-spinning split-screen of a presidential candidate spending his days in court and, he has said, "campaigning during the night."
At the outset of Monday's court proceedings, Judge Juan M Merchan denied a defence request to recuse himself from the case. Additional legal arguments and housekeeping matters were expected before the formal start of jury selection.
