Donald Trump is facing a criminal trial in Manhattan for breaking campaign finance law and alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The Manhattan DA claims the charges escalated to a felony due to the intention of concealing another crime, tying the financial documents falsification and hush money payments together. Legal scholars describe it as a unique case where a misdemeanor and alleged felony were combined to create a felony charge. This trial is considered the least significant among the four trials Trump is facing, but it holds immense political significance as it may be resolved before the election day.
