As the first criminal trial of a US president nears its end, the jury is set to be sent out for deliberations on Wednesday. The final arguments jurors heard from both sides saw contrasting styles and a clear shift in focus.

Donald Trump was accused of trying to 'hoodwink' voters during the 2016 election, while his lawyers labelled a key prosecution witness in his hush money trial as the 'greatest liar of all time'.
