Well, it has happened. A New York City Grand Jury has voted to indict President Donald Trump. It is the first time in American History that a President has been indicted. The indictment is connected to the Stormy Daniels “Hush Money” payments ahead of the 2016 Election. It is a total injustice for any President to be indicted on such thin gruel. It is clearly a political persecution – not a prosecution based on the law and the facts.
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted as part of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s years-long investigation, possibly for hush money payments.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump for hush money payments made leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Bragg is investigating the $130,000 hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Bragg is also investigating the $150,000 payment made to former Playboy model Karen McDougal , Fox News Digital has learned.
Hush money payments made to both McDougal and Daniels were revealed and reported by Fox News in 2018. Those payments had been investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York and by the Federal Election Commission.
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York opted out of charging Trump related to the Stormy Daniels payment in 2019, even as Cohen implicated him as part of his plea deal. The Federal Election Commission also tossed its investigation into the matter in 2021. . . .
