Donald Trump's 'hush money' trial has begun, and it’s the first time a US president has faced a criminal trial. Â
He's charged with falsifying business records, accused of trying to cover up a $130-thousand hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.Â
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied the affair. Â
LA's KNX news presenter Charles Feldman told Mike Hosking that Trump's already using it as a pulpit for his presidential campaign. Â
He says that at rallies Trump talks about how he feels this trial —and others— are politically persecuting him.Â
