BREAKING: A grand jury has voted to indict Donald Trump over his role in the scheme to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels and protect his successful 2016 presidential campaign— marking the first time a former U.S. president faces serious criminal charges.
A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald Trump on Thursday over his role in the scheme to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels and protect his successful 2016 presidential campaign—a historic event marking the first time a former American president faces serious criminal charges., the indictment was filed under seal Thursday by a Manhattan grand jury.
The criminal case pits Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Jr. against the biggest target his storied office has ever encountered: a hugely powerful business tycoon who secured the White House and overturned the nation’s politics, amassed a loyal following, and put together an even more formidable treasure chest from which to fund a legal defense.
Like many Trump-related scandals, this one has played out like a slow-motion train wreck where the details got lost as an exhausted American public heard bits and pieces of the same story over years.As Daniels would later detail in her tell-all book,, it all started during a celebrity golf championship in Nevada on July 13, 2006.
“Beautiful girl you got there. It’d really be a shame if something happened to her mom,” she recalled him saying. “Forget the story. Leave Mr. Trump alone.” Trump’s trusted lawyer and self-described “fixer,” Michael Cohen, tapped into his own home equity line to front the money. Ten days before the Nov. 2016 election, he used a shell corporation to wire the funds to a celebrity lawyer that was representing Daniels, leaving the adult filmmaker with an $80,000 cut.
