Donald Trump faces criminal charges over hush money payment to porn star

 

In relation to hush money payments made to an adult performer just before the 2016 presidential election, former US President Donald Trump is about to face charges.

This is the first time in American history that a president, living or dead, has been charged with a crime.

According to CNN, the indictment has been submitted under seal and will be made public soon.

At this time, it's unknown what the charges are.

A grand jury decided to indict him on criminal charges on Thursday after looking into a $130,000 payment made to adult star Stormy Daniels in an effort to get her to keep quiet about an alleged affair.

According to CNN, the district attorney's office in Manhattan has been looking into the former leader and will get in touch with his legal representatives to talk about his arrest and following arraignment.

Investigations into Trump's actions before, during, and after his first term as president are presently the focus of numerous inquiries.

Investigations are being conducted into claims that his family company committed fraud, his participation in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol, his attempt to rig the 2020 election, and the storage of sensitive information at his Mar-a-Lago home.

In addition, he was the target of a $250 million civil case filed by the New York attorney general over claims that he and his kids were complicit in a ten-year fraud.

Trump declared his intention to run again for president despite the accusations.

He has frequently referred to the numerous inquiries into him as a "witch hunt," and he has painted himself as the target of what he claims are investigations that are political in nature and are being conducted by Democratic prosecutors.
