Trump indicted in Stormy Daniels hush money case – WKRG News 5

Former President Trump was charged with criminal charges in New York on Thursday for organizing hush-money payments made to adult film stars during the 2016 presidential election, according to sources familiar with the proceedings.

The historic indictment is the first time a president has been charged with a criminal case, as several law enforcement agencies are investigating Trump’s actions in numerous investigations.

The indictment, which remains sealed, is linked to an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, centered around Michael Cohen, a fixer who paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the election. Continue.

Trump’s company labeled refunds of Cohen’s payments as legal costs and did not disclose them in the campaign’s expense report.
