former president of the United States Donald Trump a criminal charge has been brought against him in connection with the suspected misuse of election funding. Several US media are reporting on the matter.
The charge is related to Trump’s role as an adult entertainment actor by Stephanie Clifford (stage name Stormy Daniels) in paying to remain silent during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Clifford allegedly had a relationship with Trump, which Trump has denied.
Trump’s 2016 election campaign was in full swing when Clifford received what he says was a $130,000 payment from Trump’s lawyer From Michael Cohenso that he wouldn’t tell about the relationship.
Although paying to remain silent is not illegal in itself, Trump is suspected of labeling the payment as his company’s legal fees, which would be a lie.
