Trump’s trial has begun in New York

In the United States began the trial of former President Donald Trump.

The case concerns the payment of 130 thousand dollars to porn star Stormy Daniels.

This is reported by the BBC.

Trump will become the first US President in history who once appeared in court in a criminal case.

In New York, many journalists gathered outside the courthouse. Trump himself arrived at the hearing.

He made a short statement to the press, reiterating once again that the trial is nothing but a witch hunt.

“This is really an attack on a political opponent,” the former US president said.

“It’s an attack on America, and that’s why I’m very proud to be here,” Trump also added.
