Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial begins: The pornstar, the convicted lawyer and the Irish juror

It’s a trial like no other, with a former US president at the centre. Donald Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election. Ms Daniels says she had a sexual encounter with Mr Trump about a decade beforehand. Trump faces a weighty jail term if he is found guilty, but will the trial affect November's US presidential elections?
