Closing Arguments Set in Trump Hush Money Trial, as Prison Time Looms for Former President

Prosecutors and defense lawyers in Donald Trump's hush money trial are set to deliver closing arguments to the jury on Tuesday, each looking to score final points before deliberations. The case centers on a $130,000 payment Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election to prevent her from speaking publicly about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Prosecutors argue the payments were made illegally to interfere in the election, while Trump's lawyers say they were legitimate payments for legal services. A conviction could result in Trump facing up to 4 years in prison, though prosecutors have not said if they would seek imprisonment.
