Donald Trump New York court hearing: Hush money trial to start in March

A court in New York has ruled the jury selection in Donald Trump's New York hush-money trial will begin on March 25.

The former US President is attending a court hearing over allegations of hush money paid to an adult film actress.

Trump is accused of falsifying his business records by saying the payment to actress Stormy Daniels was for legal fees.

The actress says she was paid 130,000 dollars in 2016 to stay quiet after an affair with Trump which he denies.
