![]() Trump’s indictment stems over payments his lawyer made to adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, about an alleged affair between the two. At first, there were no takers for her story. In 2016, when Donald Trump was running for president, Daniels’ agent approached media outlets, including The National Enquirer, to sell her story. She adds that they met on two more occasions, but never got intimate and then she eventually stopped taking his calls. As they chatted, he told her he could make her a guest on his show, and the evening turned intimate. Moreover, he would be arraigned as soon as Tuesday, reported ABC News.Īccording to Daniels, Trump - who was then the star of the reality show The Apprentice - invited her to his hotel room dinner. “The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.”Īccording to Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina, the former US president is expected to surrender to Manhattan authorities next week. “This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history,” Trump wrote in his statement. Trump released a statement shortly after the news of the indictment broke, calling it a ‘witch hunt’ and saying it was a move by the Democrats to interfere with his 2024 bid for president. A Manhattan grand jury had voted to indict him for his role in a five-year-old scandal: the $130,000 (Rs 1.06 crore) hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. On Thursday, he became the first United States president to be indicted in a criminal case. ![]() Perhaps not in the way he would have liked to.
