Manhattan grand jury has indicted Donald Trump, marking the first time in American history that a sitting or former president has been criminally charged. The New York District Attorney’s office has been investigating the former president’s alleged involvement in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up related to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. While the specific charges are not yet public, the case centers around a payment made to the pornographic actress during Trump’s 2016 campaign.
