Former US President Donald Trump's motorcade arrives at a New York courthouse, where he faces a contempt of court hearing as part of his historic criminal trial, with New York prosecutors insisting the former president repeatedly violated the gag order issued to prevent him from intimidating witnesses. The hearing comes a day after the jury heard opening arguments in Trump's hush-money case, with prosecutors placing him at the center of a criminal conspiracy while his defense team insisted he was "cloaked in innocence."

Donald Trump arrives for another day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial, in stark contrast to his White House rival President Joe Biden who headed out on the campaign trail. "I should be right now in Pennsylvania and Florida. In many other states, North Carolina, Georgia, campaigning. This is all coming from the Biden White House because the guy can't put two sentences together. He can't campaign," Trump says as he enters court. SOUNDBITE
"These are all Biden trials," Donald Trump says as he arrives at a New York courthouse where prosecution and defense teams are set to present opening arguments in the former US president's historic hush-money criminal trial. "I'm here instead of being able to be in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, and lots of other places campaigning," he adds. Trump, 77, has been ordered by the judge to appear in the Manhattan court for the duration of the case, largely keeping him off the campaign trail for weeks as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House in November's election.

Republican Donald Trump arrives at a New York court, kicking off a seismic moment in US history as he becomes the first former president to face criminal trial. Dressed in his trademark red tie and dark blue suit, the scandal-plagued 77-year-old could earlier be seen waving as he left Trump Tower for the Manhattan criminal court, where he is accused of falsifying records to cover up an alleged sexual encounter with an adult film actress.
