New York prosecutors investigating the American billionaire heard from former porn star Stormy Daniels on Wednesday.

This case could earn Donald Trump, 76, also targeted in other court cases, to become the first former US president to be criminally charged. That could complicate his race for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.
