According to the NY Times, Manhattan’s DA has warned Trump’s legal team that charges could be coming over his hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently signaled to Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that he could face criminal charges for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn star, the strongest indication yet that prosecutors are nearing an indictment of the former president, according to four people with knowledge of the matter…
The Manhattan inquiry, which has spanned nearly five years, centers on a $130,000 payment to the porn star, Stormy Daniels, who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump. The payment was made in the final days of the 2016 presidential campaign by Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer, who was later reimbursed by Mr. Trump from the White House.
Michael Cohen hasn’t testified before the grand jury yet and Trump was invited but it’s considered unlikely that Trump would agree to do so.
The Times doesn’t reveal where this is coming from but says the DA’s office refused to comment. For the record, this is a grand jury in New York so it’s not the lady who went on a media tour last month talking about how she wanted to swear Trump in.
