Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in a New York court to 34 charges relating to the falsifying of business documents.

The former president has been accused of making a series of payments that he concealed through false business entries.

It’s alleged he did so to “conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election”.
