Trump's Hush Money Trial: Opening statements by prosecution, defence

<p>In former US president Donald Trump’s hush money trial, prosecutors in their opening statement Monday (Apr 22) said he indeed engaged in a “criminal” scheme and subsequent cover-up.</p>

<p>“This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a coverup,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told jurors in a Manhattan court in attendance of the former president.</p>

<p>Earlier, Trump arrived at the New York courthouse where prosecutors explained why the alleged hush money payment to a porn star ahead of the 2016 presidential elections amounted to a crime and warranted charges.</p>

<p>As per allegations, Trump made payments to porn star&nbsp;Stormy Daniels through his then-attorney Michael Cohen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prosecutors said&nbsp;Cohen made the payment "at the defendant's direction, and did it to influence the election."</p>

<p>An attorney from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said the reimbursements were part of a scheme that amounted to "election fraud, pure and simple."</p>

<h2><strong>David Pecker called as first witness</strong></h2>

<p>Prosecutors&nbsp;also called David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media Inc., or AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, as their first witness to the stand.&nbsp;Pecker is facing allegations that he helped&nbsp;Trump during the 2016 campaign by burying negative stories about him and attacking his rivals.</p>

<h2><strong>The defence's statement</strong></h2>

<p>Trump's attorney Todd Blanche delivered the defence's opening statement, saying the jury is "going to learn that this was not a payback."</p>

<p>Blanche added that the money paid to&nbsp;Cohen was for&nbsp;his services as Trump's personal attorney, not as reimbursement for the Daniels payment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There's nothing wrong with trying to influence an election. It's called democracy. They've put something sinister on this idea, as if it was a crime," Blanche continued. "President Trump fought back like he always does, and like he's entitled to do. To protect his family, his reputation and his brand. And that is not a crime."</p>
