Donald Trump Set To Become First Former US President To Stand Trial In A Criminal Case

Ex USA President, Donald Trump is set to appear in a New York courthouse today.

Trump will immediately become the first ex­ American president to stand trial in a criminal case, and the world has been reacting.

The Republican politician is accused of falsifying his business records to disguise a hush-money payment made to Stormy Daniels, a former adult film star, shortly before the 2016 election, but he has pleaded not guilty.

Mr Trump’s historic trial will take place in the middle of his presidential campaign, and could see the Republican nominee become a convicted felon months before voters head to the polls in November.

WOW.
