US-POLITICS-JUSTICE-COURT-TRUMP

Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik (C), US actor and former leader of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, Chuck Zito (2R) and guests listen as former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to the press at the conclusion of the day's proceedings in his criminal trial at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on May 20, 2024. After approximately five weeks, 19 witnesses, reams of documents and a dash of salacious testimony, the prosecution against Donald Trump rested its case May 20, 2024, handing over to the defense before closing arguments expected next week. Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton.
