Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, is facing 34 felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The trial in Manhattan has seen intense jury selection, with 7 jurors selected so far after questioning about political views and ability to be impartial. Key witnesses like Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who facilitated payments, are expected to testify. As the first-ever criminal trial of a former president, the case hinges on whether jurors view Trump's actions as intentionally falsifying business records or a simple mix up with the accounting division.
