After two weeks of testimony, jurors have seen over 120 exhibits.

When jurors heard opening statements in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial two weeks ago, prosecutors presented a coherent timeline of events to argue that the former president had committed crimes to hide damaging information from voters before and after the 2016 election.

Over the last two weeks, the evidence of Trump's alleged criminal conduct has arrived in bits and pieces.

Jurors have so far heard from nine witnesses and seen over 120 exhibits. Some witnesses have been able to narrate the evidence to the jury, sharing what was going through their head at the time of the text message or email entered into evidence.
