Trump, wearing a blue suit against a backdrop of American flags at his Florida estate, then turned to a lawyer by his side — their brief discussion inaudible on the video feed — before sitting with his arms folded for the remainder of the hearing.

Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments his company made to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Trump denies having had extramarital flings and says the prosecution is politically motivated.
