Disgraced former President Trump’s first criminal trial begins for real on Monday – even if last week’s jury selection was technically part of it – with opening statements from the prosecution and defense before the state begins their case, starting with former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, the supermarket tabloid hustler who brokered the hush payoff from Trump to Stormy Daniels.
Stay tuned here for the latest developments sourced from the many talented legal reporters present in the courtroom. If any major developments happen we will print standalone articles, of course staying on top of other news as it happens, but with Congress out on another break and not a ton of other stuff (foreseeably) going on, National Zero is unfortunately still going to be stuck as the Trump show for much of this week. Take comfort in the fact that he’s suffering through this too.
