Donald Trump, the former president, is set to go on trial in Manhattan Monday related to alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, the first time in American history for a president current or past.
The former president will go on trial at the Manhattan courthouse at 100 Centre St. on charges he falsified business records to cover up the $130,000 hush money payments to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, at the tail end of the presidential campaign in 2016. Trump and Daniels allegedly had sex in 2006 at a celebrity golf tournament, soon after Trump’s marriage to his wife Melania and the birth of their son Barron.
