Former US President Donald Trump is in New York ahead of a historic court appearance to face charges over a hush money payment to a porn star.
While the specific charges will only be revealed during Tuesday’s hearing, they stem from a US$130,000 (S$173,000) payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about an affair she had with Trump in 2006.
Yale-NUS College’s Dr Trisha Craig joins the programme to discuss what to expect from the hearing.
