Today, the situation surrounding the charges against Donald Trump the former President of the United States of America escalated to an unprecedented level, with the former president being arrested and entering a plea of not guilty in Manhattan.
This comes as the Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump for his alleged involvement in a scheme to pay hush money and conceal the involvement of adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
The charges against Trump have been revealed to the public and his legal team through the unsealing of the indictment by a New York grand jury.
And this is a summary of it.
The Manhattan district attorney's office started investigating while Trump was still the President. It's connected to a payment of $130,000 made by Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to Daniels in October 2016, shortly before the presidential election. The payment was meant to prevent Daniels from revealing an alleged affair she had with Trump a decade earlier, which he has denied.
Today, the prosecutors claimed that Trump was involved in an illegal plot to undermine the 2016 election's integrity, accusing him of being part of an illegal scheme to conceal unfavorable information, which includes the $130,000 payment.
Stay tuned as we gather more details about it.
