The former president's son, Eric Trump, is attending the trial today.
This is the first time a member of Donald Trump's family will be attending this trial. Eric Trump attended a dozen or so days of the civil fraud trial but he was also a defendant in that case.
The prosecution team has now entered the courtroom as Donald Trump's hush money trial is set to pick up again.

What prosecutors need to prove to convict Trump: Prosecutors need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump falsified business records with the intent to commit or conceal another crime, but they don’t have to prove that Trump committed that crime.
From CNN's Kaanita Iyer, Amy O'Kruk and Curt Merrill
Donald Trump has been accused of taking part in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election and an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, which included a hush money payment made to an adult film star to hide an affair. Trump has denied the affair.
Prosecutors allege that Trump allegedly disguised the transaction as a legal payment and falsified business records numerous times to “promote his candidacy.” Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. He has pleaded not guilty.
Read up on the key people in the Trump hush money criminal trial:
Donald Trump’s motorcade has arrived at the Manhattan courthouse where the former president is expected to attend witness testimony from a third witness, Gary Farro.
Farro is a former banker who arranged Michael Cohen’s home equity line of credit that would eventually be used to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money.
Court is expected to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET and wrap sometime around 4:30 p.m. ET (or later).

We're now in the third week of court proceedings in Donald Trump's historic hush money criminal trial.
To refresh your memory, here are the key moments and witnesses from the trial so far:
April 15: Trial began with jury selection
April 19: A panel of 12 jurors and six alternates was selected.
April 22: The prosecution and defense made their opening statements. Former tabloid boss David Pecker was called to testify.
April 23: Judge Juan Merchan held a Sandoval hearing for Trump's alleged gag order violations, but reserved his decision.
April 25: While Trump sat in the Manhattan courtroom, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the matter of his immunity in special counsel Jack Smith's election subversion case against him.
April 26: Pecker's direct questioning and cross-examination concluded. Trump's former longtime assistant Rhona Graff was called to testify briefly. Finally, Michael Cohen's former banker Gary Farro testified.
Before opening statements last week, Judge Juan Merchan determined that some of Donald Trump's past wrongdoings and legal matters can be brought up in his hush money trial, but others cannot.
His ruling came after a Sandoval hearing — a routine process through which the court will determine to what extent Trump's past wrongdoing can be brought up in the current trial. It is required under New York law when a defendant plans to testify in their own trial and is meant as an indicator of whether it would be a good idea for them to take the stand.

What's not allowed:
Donald Trump’s motorcade has departed Trump Tower and is headed to the Manhattan criminal court where the jury is hearing from its third witness, Gary Farro.
Farro is Michael Cohen’s former banker who arranged the home equity line of credit that would eventually be used to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money, which is the center of the case and the falsifying business records charges.
Eric Trump was also seen getting in the vehicles as part of the motorcade.

Donald Trump will make his most concentrated effort yet to turn his criminal trial into a political asset in the next two days, heading from the courtroom to the campaign trail and back again.
The former president’s hush money trial resumes in New York on Tuesday as prosecutors seek to prove that Trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged affair and thereby interfered in the 2016 election by misleading voters. They’ve been unwilling to reveal witnesses in advance in order to shield them from Trump’s attacks. But they are expected to press on with questioning a former banker for Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer who made hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleged the affair that Trump denies. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case.
With court dark on Wednesday, the presumptive GOP nominee will fly to the epicenter of his clash with President Joe Biden, making stops in two swing states, Wisconsin and Michigan, that could decide the destiny of the White House. The trip will show how useful it is for an indicted candidate to have his own plane. But more significantly, this will be Trump’s most intense campaign travel in weeks, and he is sure to dig in on his false claims that his four indictments were directly instigated by the White House.
Trump’s return to full-time campaigning will be fleeting, however. He must be back in court Thursday — when Judge Juan Merchan will hold another hearing over prosecution claims he’s regularly violating a partial gag order meant to protect witnesses, court staff and even the judge’s own family.
From CNN's Lauren del Valle, Kara Scannell and Jeremy Herb
Judge Juan Merchan has yet to rule on whether he’ll hold Donald Trump in contempt for violating a gag order that bars him from talking publicly about trial witnesses, the prosecutors, court staff and their families.
Prosecutors have asked Merchan to fine Trump $1,000 for each of 14 violations they say he’s committed in his public comments and social media posts – most of which rail against key trial witnesses Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office also wants Merchan to warn Trump that if he keeps it up, he could end up in jail.
Merchan heard arguments about 10 of the alleged violations last Tuesday and has scheduled another hearing for Thursday when he’ll address four other alleged violations prosecutors flagged.
