On Monday, in a courtroom in New York, Donald Trump will become the first ever sitting or former US president to face a criminal trial.
As Hugo Lowell explains to Hannah Moore, it is a case that revolves around alleged payments made to the adult film star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election – and, as New York prosecutors argue, the attempts by Trump and his campaign team to then cover them up.
But after so many years of scandal, will this trial – or the other three Trump is due to face – have any impact on his chances at regaining the presidency in elections this November?
