Key Figures in Trump’s Trial Include Former Tabloid CEO and Porn Star
A cast of colorful characters are set to participate in the former president’s NY criminal trial.
Former President Donald Trump’s first criminal trial will bring to a Manhattan courtroom a colorful cast of characters, from a porn star to a doorman and a former tabloid-publishing chief executive officer.
Trump, a brash former reality TV star who used fame to propel himself to the presidency, will be the star of the trial. He’s accused of scheming to bolster his 2016 election prospects by paying “hush money” to women who claimed to have had affairs with him, and then falsifying business records to cover his tracks. It’s one of four criminal trials the former president faces.
