Donald Trump's hush money trial is nearing its end, with jurors retiring to deliberate.
The former US president is facing 34 felony charges of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment to an adult film star before the 2016 election.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says it's a win-win situation for Trump.
He told Mike Hosking that if he's found not guilty, the jurors will be labelled heroes and the justice system will be deemed great again.
But if he's found guilty, Mitchinson says Trump will become a martyr and his supporters will be convinced that this was a political attack.
The jury must be unanimous in its decision.
