Some reports claim that Trump is facing over 30 counts in his indictment handed down by a Manhattan grand jury, but an exact number has yet to be released.
Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and one of the key witnesses in the Manhattan grand jury’s indictment of the former president, told CNN on Thursday that the number of counts against Trump «goes well past» the hush money payment scheme.
Trump was indicted Thursday following years of investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into his alleged connection to hush money payments made to adult- film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Cohen was sentenced to prison in 2018 after admitting to breaking campaign finance laws in connection to the payments to Daniels, and has testified that Trump reimbursed him for the $130,000 payout.
Cohen told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota and Don Lemon on Thursday that while he can’t discuss specifics of the case against Trump, the total counts against him equate to «a pretty significant number.
