The first-ever criminal trial of a former president started yesterday. It involves 34 felony counts alleging ex-president Donald Trump falsified business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Prosecutors argued that Trump committed election fraud by making the payment to bury the story, while the former president’s attorney said, “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election. It’s called democracy.”
