Part 3/3
The defence argues that Trump had no personal involvement in the payments - and that it's not illegal to try to influence an election anyway.
David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer who bought and buried damaging stories about Trump, is the first witness for the prosecution.

But the former president's lawyer says his client did not commit any crimes, adding "he is cloaked in innocence".
Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000  payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before he won the 2016 election.
He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records and also denies having an alleged sexual encounter with Daniels.
