“The first criminal trial of an American president will begin Monday as prosecutors and defense lawyers convene in a Manhattan courtroom to begin selecting the jury that will decide Donald Trump’s fate,” the New York Times reports.
“The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, has charged Mr. Trump with 34 felonies, accusing him of falsifying documents to conceal a sex scandal involving a porn star.”
“Jury selection could last two weeks or more, and the trial may spill into June. Mr. Trump is expected to be in the courtroom for much of it.”
Said Trump before entering the courthouse: “This is an assault on our country.”
