Donald Trump is the first ex-president in US history to face criminal charges. It is about a hush money payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, which Trump is said to have made in 2016 – shortly before he was elected US President. The 44-year-old claimed she had sex with Trump. He denies an affair, but not that money flowed.
The payment itself is not illegal. However, Trump is accused of having miscalculated and falsifying business documents. He may have violated campaign finance laws. According to US media, Trump has been charged with 34 crimes, each of which carries a prison sentence.
The District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan published the charges against the 76-year-old on Thursday last week. The accused must appear in person at the indictment hearing in Manhattan on Tuesday. Then fingerprints and police photos are taken of Trump.
