Donald Trump made history Monday in New York as the first former U.S. president to stand trial for criminal charges. Trump faces 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records as part of a scheme to hide hush money payments he made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels and others, just weeks before winning the 2016 election. He is accused of violating federal campaign finance laws for failing to disclose the payments and instead recording them as a "legal expense." Each of the 34 counts carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison. "What Donald Trump is accused of is the type of crime that's prosecuted in New York every single day … [a] garden-variety, ordinary grift," says Ron Kuby, a longtime New York criminal defense and civil rights lawyer who is following the trial closely. Kuby explains what we can expect from the trial - the first of four different criminal cases Trump is currently embroiled in, but likely the only one he will stand for ahead of the 2024 election - in the coming days.

I wish it were televised and it is in the interest of the people in the whole of the country beyond the state.
Yes, mainly to watch him have one of his tantrums.
Televising the trial would be one big campaign event for him. Therefore, it will never happen.
politics at it's dirtiest
Guilty verdict
@@JoePelletier-kb1sl guilty of urinating in a public convenience, unpaid parking fine and jaywalking
I’m still in awe that a person can’t vote for a candidate to become president if that person has a felony, but a person with a felony can become president of the United States of America. Please make it make some sense!!!!😮
We need to change that somehow
Rules aren't written for the ruling class.
Big deal! He can be a convicted felon, but he can be president, and his only punishment would be tat ge can't own a gun. What a punishment is that. US Justice System in classist, elitist. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😡
I’ve been calling my reps for the last few years about this… they don’t give a PHUCK about what is right, or what their constituents want !! It is all about $,& power…which obviously CORRUPTS absolutely !!
In America "We The People" rule and we can vote for whoever we decide.
America should be ashamed of itself.
zog should. but evil can't realize itself-it's too busy being ...evil
Some people are above the law, that's what Americans have learned is the truth.
Free Julian ASSANGE NOW
Trump promised and did not do it. he promised lots of things and did not do them but he talked so much about the great things he had done over and over again that people believed him.
@@ingehanson Only the uninformed people believed him ... Anybody that was actually fact-checking him knows it was shit !
Good News, Biden is currently speaking with the Australian authorities to get him a plea deal. I think it’s about time to get him a break and fingers crossed Biden will pull it off 👍
Exchange for Trump !
@@Firebird666 ... Except that Assange is worth saving - trump isn't ...
Does the USA even believe law is real? 😂😂
As an american, I wonder the same 😮😮😮
I’ve stopped believing in the legal system when Epstein “suicided himself”. Over half of the entirety of the federal government is filled with criminals of every level.
We all know that this trial, whether just or not, only happened as a political tool against him, otherwise this trial would have never happened
Seeing how Fauci, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, James Clapper, Bill and Hillary Clinton didn't go to jail.... I'd say no.
@@typheran1 What were they charged with?
Having brain matter 🤭🤣😜🤪@@abhayvadhavkar2231
A crook is a crook
A historic snapshot in American history.
I love how Trump suggests that he is "Gagged" and cannot even speak during the trial. I wonder if that's the explanation as to why he will have not testified that he's floating now. He could always take the stand and repeats the 5th at nauseum.
I wonder if his followers even understand that his first amendment right doesn't apply to that. And if they hold it against him for claiming that it does.
Trump is only dangerous because he has so many followers. These people, who seem to have zero critical thinking capability, are what scares me.
@@SolidAir54321 Indeed. It's the number of unwitting followers that somehow cannot see the deceit and move on that I fear the most. We know how they follow instructions to harass and attack whomever he suggests is the enemy. At this point, everyone is becoming the enemy but him (to them).
Look at the colour of him 😂😂😂
Oompa lumpa dumpidee doo
😂 he looks like a clown
It’s definitely disgusting that the taxpayers have to pay for his Security detail,so sick and tired of the Orange dumpster 🤡;10 years later of nothing for the American people
How is America and the world at the moment. from a non=American
His eyes are bloodshot. What kinda drugs is he on just to be able to sit quietly!?!😂
I would love to see this televised - however its the conviction that’s paramount
I’m not advocating for anything here but it’s just to say the Vietnamese don’t screw around with corruption and fraud.🌸Ⓐ🇻🇳
I thought that too.
Trump is being treated unfairly? Really Trump ? Open up the headlines or no head I should say in Vietnam.
Send Trump to Vietnam for sentencing.
@@ivan7453another one of your stupid comments
You can get in a lot of trouble discussing the Bidens in this manner.

He also claims to be another Mandella, as well as "The Chosen One".
Perhaps chosen for "a nice Island Vacation" - at the Island of RYKERS.
Nothing like this has ever happened, we had never had such a dirty president....
He is hands down the Dirtiest!!!
Has he lied under oath yet?
Maybe he'll plead the fifth for the thousandth time.
I think he did in the E Jean Carroll case. When he said he meant Cohen. When he clearly meant the court clerk. But you can't prove someone thoughts especially in trump's single cell brain.
Sad that you have to narrow the scope of that question so much.
I think he uses the "I don't remember" strategy for just that very reason.
@@DanA-nl5uoprobably because he lies about everything.
No innocent person fights to delay his, or her trial. Nobody in their right mind does photo ops on their way into court.
"I am not a crook" OH yes you are!
Jury by your hand selected peers.
Anne Tiffa is still allowed to roam free while the blessed one is tortured by the Roman hordes. Oh, the horror of it all!🤣🤣
This and all Trump Cases should be televised for all Citizens of the World to see!
No I'm Canadian and we see to much of Trump and American politics. I think Trump is an ass but I find no difference in my life whether he or Biden is President of the USA. If he is what the USA wants have at it.

Did he wear his golden Trump sneakers ????
I sorry, but looking at how our courts tiptoe around Trump and are afraid to hold him accountable, I have no faith in our justice system anymore.
just put the champagne on ice
Explain to me Ron, why Inmate PO1135809 is able to get away with violating so many gag orders. I suppose your going to say he didn’t violate them which is HOGWASH! Seems he got more accommodation provided him than one could possibly have; I guess he was viewed as a KING, right? Yes, I would say he got preferential treatment that the REAL people would never have been afforded.
What does this have anything to do with what Ron said about the suspicious speed of this trial? Your reasoning is because A didn't pay for alleged crime 1 we should get him fast for crime 2, bypassing any established norms? I guess, rules for thee, not for me, to you?
Ridiculous how "he's not going to be able to have a gun", but might direct the us army.
And yet tens of millions of Americans will still vote for him. That's also what's scary.
Criminal Joe bribery Biden 😅
He’s never gonna be in charge of the army, he never has one an election outright because he just lost by a small enough margin the electoral college gave it to him against Hillary. It was the exact same matchup in 2020 and he got his rear end, handed to a plate and he’s carrying a lot more luggage now so there’s no way he’s ever gonna win.
@@SolidAir54321I’m European and I hope and pray for Trump to win in 2024. With Trump NO war, now with senile Biden it is war war war continuously!
@@donaldpesch7477 You'd better rethink that and pray for Trump to lose. If Trump becomes president he will let Putin take Ukraine. Putin will not stop there but will continue on to rampage Europe. He will take Poland and more.
Also Trump will support Israel over Gaza more than Biden. Trump wants the evangelical Christian support. Trump is an authoritarian dictator wannabe.
The Biden administration is the one who got the US out of Afghanistan. Trump did not.
Isn't it true that other criminal cases have been brought sooner than usual, for reasons not known to me.
It’s so strikingly strange how he gets to keep calling the judge crooked, and he is the one who has been crooked all of his adult life
Except Cannon, she’s terrific 😂😂😂
Yeah, he’s a Parasite!
Many people are saying that Trump was nodding off after the court break because the Adderall had worn off.
@@lordhegamonster6931 sniff sniff 😂
WHY does the media KEEP giving trump air time to lie and lie and lie??????? WHY?????
Because they are giving us what we want to see, chump in jail, 2024!
If you had 31 felonies you would be speaking from a federal prison, not in a campaign.
That's why he's not. They are all bogus charges.
@@Qthekat1984they're only bogus charges if he's acquitted of them. Neither of you seem to realize that he doesn't have felonies right now, just felony charges (which can be proven or disproven by the court; that's what the court is for). There's no reason to think he should be speaking from jail right now, but based on the trial, he may or may not be speaking from jail in the future
Chump for Guantanamo 2024!
You did the crimes...now do the time
Bring it on lol
Biden is a slave trader.
What’s the crime?
NDAs are made everyday
What evidence do you have?
Trump is so juvenile.
At this point, everyone's literally playing dumb. All this charges just makes no sense anymore ngl.
He has THREATENED!!!!
JUDGE'S !!! their Families Court Clerk's
So Anyone Who did THIS... Wouldn't Get Put In....
PRISON!!! .... ⁉️ QUESTION ❓
Just Asking For A.... FRIEND!
The judges daughter is involved with these charges also
... Illegal.
Only if you have TDS
OF COURSE the judge daughter raise money for democrat campaign and we are 7month away to the election lol
Tell you friend, GET OFF THE COMFY COUCH AND STAND UP FOR AMERICA AND DEMOCRACY!!!
STOP WHINING!!!!
Well they are domestic terrorists so yeah
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
in the white house please
@@Catgarden0l0They are scared.
This election interference that’s all it is. It’s all the Democrats have left in their quiver, but it’s not gonna work, but there will be prosecution watch it’s gonna be wonderful.
To the cult members in here and nobody scared and he’s never going to the White House… He has never won an election, he lost by a small enough margin in 2016. They gave it to him, but in 2020 it was the exact same matchup and he got his ass handed to him on a plate and he’s carrying a lot more luggage now, smiles.
Case moving fast? The crime was committed eight years ago? Our legal system has totally failed us in this on-going insurrection and coup.
Lock him up 👍
Someone with criminal record is not allowed to carry a gun, because it’s not safe,but you can lead the whole of the US army? …
He is so dangerous and tries to get them mad and ready to attack.
Seriously TDS is real
More importantly can he get security clearance?
Seven months ago I would have been gleeful and hopeful about Trump's legal problems. But now because of Gaza I don't care. Hoplessness is all I feel about most Democrats and as always all Republicans.. Hopelessness and despair over not being able to stop what is happening in Gaza even as our tax dollars pay for the endevour.
I feel exactly the same and I’m from the UK but I have most of my family in the USA. All democrats and all extremely disappointed and disgusted in Biden and the democrats over Gaza.
Biden has been in office 50 years... Y'all really should look at his history.
Soo many STOOOOPID folks here. 😮
@@BrendaHeeligan The UK leaders are the same, defendinf Israel over their own people.
Silence IS complicity 🤭🛋️
What amazes me is Americans that would put Gaza over the United States of America, you would rather have a traitor that tried to overthrow our elections in the White House because you disagree with policy on Gaza?
Let' see him in the orange jump suit.
It’s crazy to know his followers are so gullible that they still think this guy is the answer.
If he thinks that he can't get a fair trial in his own city. Is because he was never a good citizen of nyc
No, it’s because over 80% of New Yorkers are Nutty Liberals. This is all about keeping him out of the White House.
Your hatred is unconstitutional . Not liking him does not make him guilty. He is more of a real virtuous man than all Democrat in the liberal sanate and the incompetent administration that uses the justice system illegally to pursue unconstitutional persecutions of American citizen
Not only that..change your news source cause you are being lied to.
D.Trump isn’t being “prosecuted while running for office” .- He’s “ running for office while being prosecuted”
Excellent point!
Trump is WADDLING for office while Guilty AF.
Mr Kuby is dynamite!! He's clear, we spoken and to the point. Please bring him back often.
Thank you, Amy. Great clip.
Hello 👋 friend how are you doing today 😃 hope am not bothering you?
Quit calling trump “President.”
He’s the most respected President of my lifetime.
Conald Plump
@@user-wf8du2iz3pAre you just 6 years old?
President Trump the best president in my lifetime and he will be president again President Trump President Trump
But he is.
he will never go to prison, the best we can hope for is house arrest, and since his house is a resort, no real punishment, unless they order him to never look at a phone or internet during that time, yeah try to enforce that
I agree with you. The USA judiciary discriminates for the rich , and imprison the poor masses for profit , of course
Has Trump recently claimed that he didn't do it?
Lock him up lock him
Why is Trump not in jail.
Free julian ASSANGE.
That is one reasonable evidence of American corrupt system.
So if he's convicted and sentenced to home-detainment, and then gets elected anyway, will he run the country from Mar-a-lago???

@@Daniel4646 someday Putin will be in a cage in the Russian courtroom
He has no idea the difference between civil cases and criminal cases. Because he's never been in one. The behavior he's shown in court just doesn't fly in criminal court. He's in for a very rude awakening.
YES America the Pumpkin Patch Snatch Grabber gets held accountable.. FINALLY !!
That’s not gonna happen. Stormy Daniels already wrote a letter to whom it may concern that she never received any money and never went out with President Trump so there you go let’s hope Biden is held responsible for all his child trafficking and pedophilia and destroying our country.
Nope, innocent. The ONLY Criminal is Joe Biden and family members 😅😅😅😅😅
"PPSG" is too fantastic. 😂
Hang onto your hat, though. This is day 1. We are a long way from PPSG being held accountable. As we speak, his people are frantically seeking to have the case thrown out. His 1st win: no cameras in the courtroom. They will drag out jury selection and delay, delay, delay, and try hard to derail...
Nice 👍

As A non-American. this is third world Law-Fare
Just part of the theater called US pentagon zion liars.
To be fair, the list of presidents on trial should include LB Johnson, GENOCIDE in Vietnam, Nixon, corruption. The list could be longer, but those two should never be forgotten.
Can't we just fast forward the trial, and get too the conviction and deportation of Trump to Russia.
You've got to be kidding, which sane country Leaders, would want any US Leaders or politicians to be deported to their peace loving country.
May I highly recommend, deporting all US & its cohorts of corrupted Allies to Gaza, Ukraine or Afghanistan, let them have their pick of the country they so heartlessly destroyed.
So Sad Our Country can do Better may God be with this human being it a lots for any body go through if guilty or not the law is the law

"... If you self identify as (anti-fascist), chances are you can't be fair to Donald Trump."
Woops
Knowing that he won't be able to carry a gun if convicted is a small consolation... I would have added that he can't press red buttons 👉🏼🖲️
What is striking to me is the repeated use of the questioning of potential jurors about whether they're fair or can be fair and the total lack of definition or explanation of what a fair juror is or does.
It's stupid and absurd and it plays into Trump and his legal team's stupid and absurd complaints about Trump being able to get a fair trial as an argument to therefore dismiss the case entirely.
The fact is there are virtually zero people in this country who don't hold opinions and biases about virtually all manner of subjects, including Trump. It's an absurdly unrealistic standard to expect otherwise and that is not what defines a fair juror. A fair juror can have preexisting opinions about a defendant. What matters is whether a juror listens and considers all of the testimony, arguments, and evidence and narrowly decides the verdict alone purely on that basis.
This is America. What got you sleeping on? Who got you sleeping on? This is America.
