The court heard a witness testify to secret recordings of Trump, in which he appears to negotiate the Daniels payment.
Former United States President Donald Trump has returned to New York City after a day of campaigning, as court proceedings resumed in the historic criminal trial against him.
On Thursday, the 10th day of the trial unfolded in the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, where Trump stands accused of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the midst of the 2016 presidential race.
Those records allegedly pertain to a hush money payment he is accused of making to the adult film star Stormy Daniels, in order to buy her silence.
Daniels has claimed she and Trump had an affair, though the former president has denied any sexual liaison between them. He has also denied wrongdoing in the face of the criminal indictment.
Prosecutors, however, hope to prove that Trump intentionally sought to bury stories like Daniels’s to influence the outcome of the 2016 vote, which he ultimately won.
