The information is confirmed by Trump’s lawyer for the AP news agency. But neither the prosecutor nor the indictment jury has yet made a statement.
The newspaper’s information is based on four sources with access to the case. The indictment is expected to be announced sometime in the coming days.
The charges in question are not known, the newspaper writes, but the investigation is about Trump, before the 2016 election campaign, being illegally suspected of having paid former porn actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, $130,000 not to disclose that she and Trump had a relation.
Trump himself stated two weeks ago that he would be arrested the following week, but that did not happen.
Trump becomes the first US president to be impeached.
