Donald Trump became the first ex-president in US history to be formally indicted by a court. One of several investigations against him is related to “hush money” payments to “adult film” actress Stormy Daniels—though he won’t be held in custody or be forced to end his presidential campaign, Turanews.kz reports.
This is the first time in history that a former American president is facing criminal charges.
Trump is expected to face more than 30-count charges related to business fraud.
Before the 2016 election, Donald Trump paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 through his lawyer to keep quiet about having contacted him a decade earlier. The payment wasn’t illegal, but the politician’s lawyer billed it as a legal fee, and it’s considered falsification of accounting in New York state and is punishable by a felony.
