Trump's Hush Money Scheme Exposed in Indictment.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged that former President Donald Trump instructed his then-attorney Michael Cohen to delay paying $130,000 in hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels until after the 2016 presidential election to avoid paying altogether. Bragg's allegation challenges Trump's current attorney Joe Tacopina's argument that the payment was "not directly related to the campaign." Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records during his arraignment in Manhattan criminal court. The alleged scheme to conceal payments from the public "violated New York election law, which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means," the DA said.
