In a stunning development, former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York. The indictment stems from a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. According to the statement of facts released alongside the indictment, the payments were made to conceal an alleged extramarital affair between Mr. Trump and Ms. Daniels, and constituted an illegal campaign finance violation. The indictment outlines specific details regarding these payments, including their purpose and timing, and provides a clear legal basis for the charges against Mr. Trump. This significant development marks a pivotal moment in American politics and will likely trigger intense scrutiny and debate across the country.
