Trump on trial: Porn stars, hush money and a presidential election

US

As the first of Donald Trump’s four criminal trials begins this week, will it have any effect on his chances of re-election in November?

The former president faces 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. He is accused of falsifying internal business records as part of an alleged scheme to bury stories that he thought might hurt his presidential campaign in 2016.

With all eyes on the New York courtroom, Daily host Matt Barbet speaks to US correspondent James Matthews from outside the first trial Trump will face this year… plus, Washington-based pollster John Zogby explains what it could mean for his popularity amongst voters.
