Trump’s Hush Money Trial: Opening Statements Begin as Former President Appears in Court for Fourth Day

Former President Donald Trump appeared in court for the fourth day of his hush money trial, facing intense scrutiny and legal battles. The trial, which began with jury selection, is now in full swing with opening statements from both the prosecution and defense.

Over the weekend, Trump took to social media to express his frustrations about the case, claiming presidential immunity and canceling a planned rally due to bad weather. Meanwhile, his wife, Melania Trump, returned to the campaign trail to raise funds for a conservative LGBT+ group.

In addition to the hush money trial, Trump is facing a myriad of legal issues, including a hearing to cancel a $175 million bond in a fraud case and the public filing of witness statements in a classified documents case.

The trial is expected to feature key witnesses, including former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who is expected to testify about Trump’s involvement in the hush money scheme. Trump’s defense team has outlined their strategy to focus on the facts and prove his innocence.

As the trial continues, the public awaits the outcome and the potential implications for the former president. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile case.
