Former President Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan Grand Jury over hush money paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels, according to the NY Times, citing four people familiar with the matter.
The still-sealed felony indictment, which comes as 2024 campaign season comes into focus, makes Trump the first former president in US history to face criminal charges.
The exact charges are not yet known, however the Times expects them to be announced in the coming days by the Manhattan district attorney’s office. Prosecutors working for DA Alvin L. Bragg will ask Trump to surrender and face arraignment on said unknown charges.
The move also comes just before the grand jury takes a one-month break until late April.
