Trump hush money trial: A timeline of key events in the case

NEW YORK (AP) — The events at the center of former President Donald Trump’s hush money case date back almost two decades, with new dates coming to light as the trial plays out in a Manhattan courtroom. Key moments in the case, as described in trial testimony and court documents, begin with allegations from two women about relations with Trump in 2006, which he denies. After Trump entered the 2016 presidential race, deals were struck by the publisher of the National Enquirer and Michael Cohen to purchase the women’s stories, and the agreements were subsequently made public.
