the story of the porn star stormy daniels is central to the case. the prosecution said that paying her $130,000 in hush money was election fraud, pure and simple, orchestrated by donald trump. the court will hear evidence from trump's former fixer, now sworn enemy, michael cohen. he'll describe making that payment on mr trump's instructions. the defence will brand him an admitted liar and convicted criminal, who's now obsessed with his former boss. mr cohen was earlier involved in paying off a playboy model, karen mcdougal, who also said she'd had an affair with donald trump. he even recorded a conversation with mr trump about that deal, which the prosecution will use to show a pattern of behaviour. it will be a dramatic moment when michael cohen gives evidence as the prosecution's star witness, and there may be some rather more salacious testimony as well. donald trump's lawyers believe stormy daniels herself will be called to the stand. the first witness was david pecker, from the national enquirer magazine, who the prosecution claim conspired wit

pawn to stormy daniels, the porn star, was paid to her for reasons of keeping the story quiet because of the election. now, that's why they say the payments were dressed up as something else, because they would they could look like illegal campaign contributions. now, what they're trying to do is to establish the background here and say that david pecker, the publisher, the then publisher of the national enquirer, was involved really in a sort of plan with donald trump and his lawyer, notjust to stop those negative stories about donald trump, but to promote positive stories before the election — and indeed to promote smears about some of his opponents, hillary clinton, the republican opponents like ted cruz. so, what they're trying to say is that this was part of a pattern that led to the situation with stormy daniels, which, of course, is the subject of this particular case. i also want to ask you about the gag order, which mr trump was just responding there. he was scolded somewhat by the judge for his social media posts, and thejudge generally seemed rather frustrated. what was y

criminal trial continues in new york, where he denies covering up a hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels. we'll have more on that shortly, but first, here's gary 0'donoghue on proceedings in the supreme court. around three hours or so of arguments before thejustices — quite a quite a long session. and the question, the essential question, does a president, does donald trump have immunity from criminal prosecution for acts he committed while he was in the white house? now, the previous courts have said no to that question. donald trump's lawyers say yes, and there's constitutional basis. but jack smith, the special counsel who is, of course, prosecuting donald trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the events around january 6 and the attack on the capitol. he says no—one is above the law, and that's what the justices have been wrestling with. they, i think, were pretty sceptical of the idea of total immunity from prosecution. now, that may be bad news for donald trump, but they also may want to make a kind of distinction between acts done as a private citizen or for
