Closing arguments in the landmark hush-money case against ex-US President Trump
The adult film star, Stormy Daniels, reportedly received money to stay silent about an alleged romantic relationship with Trump. Trump rejected these claims. If proven guilty, the court would decide on the punishment. Although a prison term is a possibility, legal experts foresee probation or a fine as more likely. Trump views this as a political strategy intended to undermine his campaign against President Joe Biden.
