The prosecutors are set to present opening statements on the criminal case in the historic hush money trial, in which former United States president Donald Trump is accused, on Monday. A 12-person jury in Manhattan will hear the statements from prosecutors and defence lawyers in the first of the four criminal cases against Trump.
