Donald Trump goes to court Monday as the first US ex-president ever to be criminally prosecuted, a seismic moment for the United States as the presumptive Republican nominee campaigns to re-take the White House.
The right-wing populist is running on dark vows of “vengeance” against Democratic President Joe Biden, who beat him in 2020.Trump has said he will take the stand in the case, which gets underway from 1330 GMT, an unusual and often risky move for defendants. But ahead of any testimony by Trump, the trial will start Monday with a likely lengthy and contentious process to select 12 jurors and their alternates.
Even if convicted, he would be able to appeal and would not be barred from continuing to run, or even being elected president on November 5.Trump’s other three criminal cases — centered on his alleged hoarding of top-secret documents in Florida after he left the White House and his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election — all face multiple delays.
