“The opening day of Donald Trump’s criminal trial delved deep into his tabloid-fueled sex life, as lawyers and the judge debated how many salacious details jurors should eventually hear as they decide whether he broke the law to cover up hush money payments,” the Washington Post reports.
“The historic first trial of a former U.S. president began Monday in an aging courthouse that has seen a host of high-profile cases over the years, from rap stars to movie moguls, but never one with such potential consequences for the nation and the world.”
“The dry rituals of court only made the proceedings more surreal, as New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan warned Trump he could be sent to jail if he disrupted the trial or failed to appear in court, and prosecutors said they would seek to hold Trump in contempt even before a single potential juror had been questioned.”
