Trump payoff 'tainted election'

In opening statements of the former president's criminal trial, Trump was accused of lying repeatedly by disguising business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.

The actress, real name Stephanie Clifford, claims she had sex with Trump shortly after the birth of his son Baron to wife Melania.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo said: "The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election.

"Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again. It was election fraud, pure and simple."
