Former President Trump faces a landmark trial for alleged hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. Learn about the key players, jury selection challenges, and Trump's legal troubles.

The hush-money trial of former President Donald Trump has kicked off in New York, marking a historic event as Trump becomes the first former president to face criminal charges. Accused of altering business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, Trump has vehemently dismissed the case as a 'scam.' The trial involves finding an impartial jury among hundreds of potential jurors questioned in the unprecedented criminal trial against a former US president.

With jury selection underway, key players like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels are expected to play crucial roles in the trial. The case has raised questions about Trump's legal troubles and the unprecedented nature of a former president facing a criminal trial. The difficulty in maintaining impartiality among potential jurors highlights the challenges in ensuring a fair trial for such a high-profile case.

In a surprising turn of events, Liz Truss, Britain's shortest-serving prime minister, expresses her support for Trump's candidacy, stating that he 'has to win.' This endorsement adds a new dimension to the political landscape surrounding Trump's trial. As the trial progresses, the spotlight remains on Trump's unprecedented legal battle, shaping the future of former presidents facing criminal charges.

As the trial unfolds, the parallel between Donald Trump's legal woes and meme stocks like Tesla emerges, with both attracting public attention and speculation. The dynamics between Trump's trial and public perception mirror the unpredictable nature of meme stock investments, adding a unique twist to the unfolding events. Despite the challenges, Trump's trial sets a significant precedent in US legal history, with implications that could reshape political accountability for former leaders.
