Former US President Donald Trump is indicted. This is confirmed by his lawyer for the AP news agency. The indictment concerns “hush money” that the ex-president paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. Late on Thursday evening, the news broke that former US President Donald Trump is being indicted. The New York Times was the first to report the news. The AP news agency has spoken to Joe Tacopina, one of Trump’s lawyers, who confirms that the former president has been indicted by a New York grand jury. The indictment concerns the “hush money” that the ex-president allegedly paid porn star Stormy Daniels to not talk about alleged affairs with Trump. The money must have been paid in connection with the campaign for the 2016 US presidential election, AP writes. Trump himself denies that he did anything illegal and has previously attacked the investigation, which has been ongoing for several months. AP writes that the ex-president is expected to hand himself over to the authorities next week and refers to source information. It is the first time in American history that a current or former president has been charged with a crime, US media reports.
