This was a planned, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election, to help Donald Trump get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad to say about his behavior.
The trial could last up to two months, requiring Trump to spend time in a courtroom instead of on the campaign trail, impacting his presidential primaries run.
A guilty verdict in the hush money case would not prevent Trump from running for president again but would bar him from self-pardoning due to it being a state case.
