Full coverage: Trump hush-money probe
Former President Trump has been indicted in New York City on charges related to a $130,000 payment made by his former attorney Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Cohen admitted in federal court that he paid Daniels shortly before the 2016 election to keep her from talking about an affair she says she had with Trump. Cohen also admitted in court papers that Trump’s New York City-based real estate business reimbursed him the following year but disguised the payments as a large monthly retainer.
Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels and paying her to stay quiet. One of his lawyers has accused her of extorting money from him.
Donald Trump’s criminal trial in N.Y. hush money case is tentatively scheduled to begin March 25, during the heat of the presidential primary season.
