Trump to be first former US president in history to face criminal charges

Donald Trump arrived at a Manhattan court for a historic criminal trial stemming from a hush-money payment to a porn star.

Trump, 77, is the first former U.S. president to face a criminal trial. He is required to attend the trial in Manhattan, which could last through May. Jury selection is expected to take about a week, followed by witness testimony.

Trump has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could still hold office.
