Donald Trump appeared in a Manhattan criminal court today as jury selection for his hush money trial gets underway.
The trial marks the first time in history that an ex-President is criminally prosecuted in court.
Trump faces 34 felony counts in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has accused Trump of doctoring financial records of his companies and orchestrating a scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and accused Bragg of carrying out a politically motivated witch hunt against him.
