NY vs Trump wraps for the day after opening statements

Former President Trump’s hush money payments trial entered its second week on Monday as lawyers on both sides prepared to deliver their opening statements. The court concluded its jury selection process over the course of four days last week.

Fox News contributor and legal expert Jonathan Turley said former President Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan over allegedly falsifying business records has left him “in utter disbelief.”
“What is clear, is in this case, Trump is right. I mean, this is an embarrassment. I mean, the fact that we are actually talking about this case being presented in a New York courtroom, leaves me in utter disbelief. I mean, the the arguments today did in fact capture all the problems here,” Turley said Monday afternoon on Fox News.
