Trump’s hush-money trial enters next stage
Hello. Thanks for re-joining our live coverage of Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in New York City.
We’re expecting things to ramp up today, as lawyers on both sides provide their opening arguments.
Last week was all about selecting a jury for this historic trial, the first criminal trial for a former or current US president.
Many potential jurors were rejected, saying they could not be fair or impartial in a case that involved the former American leader.
But now that 12 jurors (and six reserves) have been selected, it’s time for them to listen to what the prosecution and defence have to say at the start of the trial.
It's Sophie Abdulla and James FitzGerald in London for now - and later you'll be hearing from our court-based reporters in New York.
