What To Know About Trump's Hush-Money Trial

Donald Trump's first criminal trial is now firmly under way, with a full jury sworn in on Thursday.

The former president has in recent months faced judges in two separate New York civil trials, but his criminal trial there will look very different.

Mr Trump, 77, has been charged with 34 counts of fraud, related to hush-money that was paid to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

He has pleaded not guilty, arguing the allegations he faces are not criminal.
