Donald Trump's trial has started in New York. \xa0

It's the first time a US president has faced a criminal trial. \xa0

Trump is charged with falsifying business records over his alleged role in a hush money scheme before the 2016 election. \xa0

He's pleaded not guilty. \xa0

The trial is one of four criminal cases he faces and may be the only one to face a jury before the election. \xa0

Former adviser to George W Bush, Scott Jennings, told Mike Hosking that the chances of him being convicted in New York City are pretty high. \xa0

But, he says, the issue itself is of low concern to Americans, the bigger issue would be if they get to trial for charges he faces about January 6.\xa0
