Former United States President Donald Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors have begun their opening statements in the businessman-turned-politician’s trial into alleged hush money payments made to an adult film star.The case marks the first time that prosecutors are presenting a criminal case against a former president to a jury, and the trial is taking place months before November’s US presidential election, in which Trump is expected to face off against incumbent Joe Biden.The proceedings on Monday will see both sides lay out their arguments in broad strokes while simultaneously hinting at the legal strategies they plan to deploy in what is expected to be a six-week trial.
