Prosecutors call first witness before Trump trial adjourns: Live updates
After four days of jury selection, the first criminal trial of a former president moved into the argument phase Monday in New York City.
Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office and defense attorneys for former President Trump gave their opening statements to a jury that was sworn in last week. And the first witness, magazine publisher David Pecker, was called to the stand and sworn in. He started his testimony before court adjourned for the day. He'll get back on the stand on Tuesday.
Prosecutors will need to convince the jury that Trump falsified business records with the intent to defraud and to commit or further another crime to prove he is guilty.
Court has adjourned for the day. Jurors were told to return to the courthouse around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Here's a recap of how Monday's proceedings unfolded.
