Trump trial live updates: Closing arguments to begin in hush money case

Donald Trump's historic hush money trial enters its final leg on Tuesday morning with closing arguments set to begin.  

Prosecutors and defense attorneys will get one final opportunity to convince the jury of their respective cases before deliberations begin. Jurors will then undertake the unprecedented task of deciding whether to convict the former U.S. president of felony criminal charges stemming from hush money payments tied to an alleged scheme to buy and bury stories that might wreck Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

At the heart of the charges are reimbursements paid to Michael Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment that was paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels in exchange for not going public with her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.
