Donald Trump becomes first former US president to face criminal trial

The day when Donald Trump says "all hell will break loose" is almost here. 

In just a few hours he will become the first former US president in history to face a criminal trial. 

He's charged with falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star. 

It was Netflix filming at the courts in Lower Manhattan on Monday afternoon. 

But come tomorrow, the precinct will host a story with its own Hollywood drama - a former president on trial, who blames the current one for his predicament.   

Donald Trump will go on trial facing 34 charges on Tuesday. 

He's accused of falsifying business records to cover up payments to a porn star.   

They were to keep Stormy Daniels from talking about what she says was an affair with Donald Trump. However, he denies any affair happened.  

On Tuesday, the courts will be crawling with police, security, and Secret Service officers.  

The New York Police Department (NYPD) will deploy bomb-sniffing dogs and fly drones to keep an eye on the crowds, according to local media. 

The first week of the trial will focus on jury selection - and finding an impartial one.  

Selecting jurors who don't have any bias for, or against, Trump might prove difficult.  

The judge is making potential jurors answer 42 questions, from where they live, to what news they consume. 

Trump's interactions, and movements will be watched carefully too.  

This trial is keeping him from meeting voters, seven months from election day. 

So, expect the courtroom to become a campaign stage, for the next two months.
