Donald Trump's Hush Money Trial, Week 7: Live Updates

Former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse is nearing its end.

Trump faces 34 counts connected to his alleged attempt to cover up a 2016 hush money payment of $130,000 to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, an attempt to conceal the details of an extramarital affair. Closing arguments from prosecutors and the former president’s defense team will be presented Tuesday.

Over the previous six weeks, around 20 witnesses have taken the stand. Trump did not testify.

The case was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Judge Juan Merchan is on the bench presiding over the trial. Trump’s legal team includes attorneys Emil Bove, Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles. The prosecution includes Susan Hoffinger, Joshua Steinglass, Christopher Conroy and Matthew Colangelo.
