NEW YORK (AP) — The first week of testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial was the scene-setter for jurors.

Prosecutors are setting the stage for crucial testimony from Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, who arranged hush money payments on Trump’s behalf before going to prison for campaign finance violations and other crimes. Trump denies any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty.
