Trial over Donald Trump's hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels is taking place a month later than expected. This plays into the hands of the former president.

The judge in charge postponed the first trial date by 30 days. It is the first time in the history of the United States that a former president has to face criminal charges. Trump is accused of falsifying business documents in connection with a hushMoney payment to her. Daniels said he had sex with Trump in 2006, who was married at the time and had had a son just months earlier.
