Former US President Donald Trump
Jury selection in former US president Donald Trump's long-awaited hush money trial has started in a New York Court.
Both legal teams spent most of the morning haggling over what evidence can be used in the trial.
Mr. Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election - which he won.
Ms. Daniels claims she and Trump had an affair in 2006, and she was paid by his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to stay quiet about it.
Mr. Trump is accused of falsifying his business records by saying the reimbursement money he gave Mr. Cohen was for legal fees.
He faces 34 counts of fraud with a maximum penalty of four years behind bars.
