Courtroom sketch artists are providing a unique look into the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president, Donald Trump, in New York. With cameras banned in the courtroom, these artists are capturing the essence of the trial through their sketches, giving Americans a glimpse into this historic event.
One of the key pieces of evidence highlighted in the trial is a letter signed by porn star Stormy Daniels, denying an affair with Trump. Trump recently posted the letter on Truth Social, claiming it was just found and questioning if the fake news would report it. However, fact-checkers have debunked this claim, stating that the letter was signed and published in January 2018 and has been widely covered by various media outlets since then.
The trial revolves around allegations that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump is the first former president to stand trial in a criminal case, marking a significant moment in US history.
Despite the letter’s denial of the affair, Daniels later admitted that it was a lie and was signed under pressure due to fear of legal repercussions. She is expected to testify at Trump’s trial, shedding more light on the events surrounding the hush money payment.
As the trial progresses, the courtroom sketches provide a visual narrative of the proceedings, offering a behind-the-scenes look at this high-profile case. Stay tuned for more updates as the trial unfolds and the truth behind the allegations is revealed.
