(32 minutes later)
On Thursday, the US Supreme Court will hear Donald Trump's argument in a separate case. He contends that he is immune from prosecution on charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Kayla Epstein
In an opinion piece for the The New York Times today, former Republican Representative Liz Cheney says it is likely that all, or nearly all, of the justices agree that in this case there can be a prosecution. Reporting from outside court
But Cheney - who is a leading critic of Trump - also warns that any delay to that case could have a “profoundly negative impact”. She argues that Trump is the man "most responsible" for the events of 6 January 2021, when rioters stormed the US Capitol building. Today’s the day we will have opening arguments for Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial - the first ever criminal trial of a US president.
We will hear the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and Trump’s lawyers make their opening pitch to the jury, outlining the full sweep of their case.
Then we dive into the details of witness testimony and evidence.
It’s an important day that could set the tone for the next several weeks.
I’m lined up outside the courthouse with a designated press corps who will sit inside the courtroom itself.
It’s going to be a long, busy day, and we’ll be bringing you live updates from inside the room with Trump.
