Why was Trump indicted? What to expect in New York hush money case

Trump’s business, political and personal dealings. Trump is currently ramping up to regain the White House in 2024 while simultaneously battling other legal problems. Here is a look at why he was indicted in New York and what’s going to happen next in that legal process. RELATED: Trump indicted: Charged in New York over hush money paid during 2016 campaignTrump’s indictment in New York has to do with a so-called "hush money" payment made during the height of his 2016 presidential campaign. While making a hush-money payment isn’t itself an illegal act, the way Trump funneled the money might have made it one. A $130,000 payment was made to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public during Trump’s presidential campaign about a sexual encounter she claims she had with the Republican years ago. The money was paid out of the personal funds of Trump’s now-estranged lawyer, Michael Cohen, who then said he was reimbursed by the Trump Organization and also paid extra bonuses for a total that eventually rose to $420,000. Manhattan prosecutors had been examining whether any state laws were broken in connection with the payment or the way Trump’s company compensated Cohen for his work to keep the allegations quiet. The grand jury heard evidence and from a number of witnesses in secret since January. FILE - U.S.

In Trump case, NY grand jury appears near end of its work

NEW YORK - A New York grand jury investigating Donald Trump over a hush money payment to a porn star appears poised to complete its work soon as law enforcement officials make preparations for possible unrest in the event of an indictment.Trump over the weekend claimed without any evidence that he would be arrested on Tuesday, with his representatives later saying he was citing media reports and leaks. There was no indication that prediction would come true, though the grand jury appeared to take an important step forward by hearing Monday from a witness favorable to Trump, presumably so prosecutors could ensure the panel had a chance to consider any testimony that could be remotely seen as exculpatory.The next steps in a grand jury process shrouded in secrecy remained unclear, and it was uncertain if additional witnesses might be summoned.

Will Donald Trump take a mugshot if he’s indicted?

NEW YORK - Donald Trump announced over the weekend that he expects to be "arrested" this week as a New York grand jury gets close to wrapping up its look into hush money the former president paid during his 2016 campaign.
