Closing arguments are underway in the Manhattan criminal trial of Donald Trump. That means a jury will soon be asked for the first time in history whether to convict a former president of the United States.
Trump stands charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election. Prosecutors say this amounted to illegally seeking to influence the election.
