The Trump Hush-Money Case: Evidence, Indictment, and Self-Sabotage
TL;DR Summary
A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former US President Donald Trump after an investigation of the hush-money payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels in the final stretch of his 2016 presidential campaign. The alleged cover-up that followed the payment is likely to be as important for the future of the case. Trump's then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid Ms. Daniels $130,000 in October 2016 to keep her from going public with allegations of an alleged sexual encounter with the then-candidate.
