Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson is on trial in connection with allegations involving two women. During evidence, he admits to having an affair with a woman he describes as a “divorcee,” telling the court that he did not provide his wife, Eleanor, with the support she needed, and that the lack of support contributed to tensions in their marriage. The reports state that Donaldson also denies sexually abusing two women, maintaining that he did not do so. The accounts agree that his evidence includes both the admission of marital infidelity and his denial of the sexual abuse claims. The trial therefore focuses on disputed allegations, with Donaldson’s testimony addressing his conduct in his personal life as well as the specific accusations made against him. The court proceedings continue, with the parties set to address the credibility of claims and the details of events as presented by the prosecution and Donaldson’s defence.
