The Manhattan grand jury indicted President Donald Trump in the hush money case even though they haven’t met or heard about it.
This info is from sources and hasn’t been officially released.
DA Alvin Bragg inherited the case when he came into office in 2022 but suspended it. Then he brought it back when Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign.
Supposedly Trump paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair. His former lawyer Michael Cohen said he set it up, paid it out of his pocket, and the Trump Organization paid him back as “legal expenses”:
Cohen paid Daniels personally, but was reimbursed by the Trump Organization under the guise of legal expenses – leading federal prosecutors to charge the money had been falsely accounted for.Bragg’s case hinges on the allegation that the crime of falsifying business records — bookkeeping fraud — was done in the commission of another crime, a campaign finance violation, The New York Times reported in March. The Times reported the charge would amount to a “low level” felony.If Trump is convicted of bookkeeping fraud as a felony he could face up to four years in prison.The charge usually has a five-year statute of limitations as a felony, but those are extended when a defendant continuously lives out of state, as Trump did during his presidency, the Times reported.The statute of limitations was also extended by more than a year in New York due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bragg’s office said it would “coordinate” Trump’s surrender to the office “for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal.”
