"Former President Trump to Surrender Following New York Grand Jury Indictment"

A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former US President Donald Trump, marking the first time a former president has been indicted. The exact nature of the charges remains unclear, but they are related to payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter. Prosecutors are working to coordinate Trump's surrender, which could happen early next week. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and called the indictment "political persecution." The charges are likely to reinforce rather than reshape dueling perspectives of those who see accountability as long overdue and those who feel the Republican is being targeted for political purposes by a Democratic prosecutor.
