Trump Indicted!
A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Donald Trump, making him the first U.S. President to face criminal prosecution.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team were investigating crimes associated with hush money payments made by Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels. Cohen went to jail for tax evasion and campaign-finance violations. In 2019, Cohen testified before congress that he "pled guilty in federal court to felonies for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in coordination with ‘Individual 1. And for the record: ‘Individual 1’ is Donald J. Trump.”
