NEW YORK (AP) — Witness testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial is set to resume.

The trial on Monday is entering its 12th day. Ex-Trump adviser Hope Hicks took the stand on Friday, recounting the chaos that unfolded after the “Access Hollywood” tape leaked. Trump is accused of falsifying internal business records to cover up hush money payments, recording them instead as legal expenses. He has pleaded not guilty.
