An indictment of the former president in connection to hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels could be forthcoming.
A grand jury hearing evidence about former President Donald Trump’s alleged hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels is believed to be nearing the end of its work as it hears from its final witnesses.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has been looking into whether $130,000 that Trump allegedly arranged for his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to pay Daniels to keep their alleged affair a secret ahead of the 2016 election amounted to a campaign violation.
Investigators are also examining if any records were falsified when Cohen was reimbursed for the money, which was listed in Trump Organization records as legal fees. Trump denies wrongdoing and denies having an affair with Daniels.
It was previously suggested by Trump that he could be arrested on Tuesday as part of the probe. However, it later emerged that the grand jury would not be making an announcement of any potential indictment that day as it has another witness to hear from on Wednesday at least.
A number of people have already testified to the grand jury as part of the probe, which could result in Trump becoming the first former U.
