(Patria) - Former US President Donald Trump will be charged for secret payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election, CNN reported.
A grand jury indicted Trump over the payment of $130,000 to porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with him while he was married to his current wife, Melania. Daniels received $130,000 for her silence on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. This payment is part of the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into violations of campaign finance laws, which has now led to the indictment. Two years later, the secret was revealed, and Daniels has spoken to numerous media outlets about her relationship with Trump since then.
Trump commented immediately after the indictment against him was revealed and denied the entire case.
"This is a political persecution and election interference like has never been seen before. From the time I came down the escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your president, the radical left Democrats, the enemies of hardworking men and women of this country, have been engaged in a witch hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement," Trump said.
His lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said Trump would likely be brought to court early next week.
Trump thus became the first US president to face an indictment. In parallel, several other investigations are ongoing against him that could result in new indictments.
Some speculate that the former president could be arrested in the coming days.
