Former President Donald Trump is set to go on trial this month in Manhattan for his alleged role in a hush money scheme to silence his alleged mistresses before the 2016 election.

It will be historic; no former US president has ever faced criminal prosecution. It will be salacious; the alleged mistresses are a former adult-film actress and a Playboy model. Even though it features the former president, who denies all wrongdoing, it may or may not be the trial of the century.

In 2018, Trump initially denied any knowledge of the payments, but he later admitted in a carefully worded tweet that he made them to Cohen. Trump argued they had nothing to do with the campaign.
