Trump trial closing arguments set to begin today ahead of jury deliberations

After six weeks and more than 20 witnesses, lawyers in Donald Trump's criminal trial will give their closing arguments Tuesday.

A prosecutor for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is expected to tell the jury that Trump signed off on a scheme to illegally falsify records, with the goal of covering up a "hush money" payment made by Trump's ex-lawyer Michael to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The scheme was designed to subvert election law and keep the payment secret, prosecutors say.

Trump's defense is expected to say the prosecution failed to prove its case. They spent long hours attacking the credibility of Cohen and Daniels, who were key witnesses in the trial.
