At the hearing, prosecutors accused Trump of concealing criminal conspiracy and a sex scandal before the 2016 US presidential election. “This was pure election fraud,” said Matthew Colangelo, a lawyer, in opening legal arguments before the jury Tuesday in the historic case, which began in New York court.
