Trump Trial Week 6... All Eyes on the Jury (and Robert De Niro)
Arguments are taking place inside (and outside) the courtroom.
Former US President Donald Trump\u2019s trial in New York is in its sixth week, where he\u2019s accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
After hearing closing arguments from the prosecutors and defence, jurors in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial will begin their deliberations. The 12 New Yorkers must reach a unanimous verdict.
As always, there\u2019s been drama outside the courtroom. The actor Robert De Niro has been speaking out against Donald Trump, much to the chagrin of the former President\u2019s followers in Manhattan.
