Former President Trump indicted as part of Manhattan DA's investigation into hush money payments
In this issue: former president Trump indicted on hush money charges
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office as part of a years-long investigation into hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump for payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York previously opted not to charge Trump in 2019, and the Federal Election Commission dropped its investigation in 2021. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has criticized the investigation as political persecution. Bragg suspended the investigation indefinitely when he took over as district attorney in January 2022, leading to the resignation of some prosecutors. Meanwhile, the charges against Trump come amid a special counsel investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago home. Additionally, the New York Attorney General Letitia James continues her years-long civil investigation into the Trump Organization to determine whether the company inflated asset values on financial statements to obtain loans and tax benefits.
