A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

LEAK: Manhattan Prosecutors Digging Into Trump ‘Hush Payment’ to Playboy Centerfold Karen McDougal
Manhattan prosecutors are now aggressively digging into Trump’s 2016 ‘hush payment’ to Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal, according to a leak to The Wall Street Journal.
Trump has been accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the Stormy ‘hush payment’ case from a misdemeanor to a felony earlier this year in a effort to ‘get Trump.’
The same Manhattan prosecutors are now digging into Trump’s $150,000 ‘hush payment’ to Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Karen McDougal claims she had a 10-month affair with Donald Trump in 2006.
Trump has denied the affair.
According to reports, McDougal signed a contract with the National Enquirer to give them the exclusive rights to her story (known as ‘catch and kill’) about her years-old relationship with Trump.
It is unclear if prosecutors will bring charges related to Trump’s payment to Karen McDougal or use it to establish a ‘pattern of conduct’ by Trump, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Are the Pelosi’s still camped out in NYC to celebrate?
Did they release this information specifically so they can get ANTIFA ( in disguise as MAGA) to attack the trans tomorrow. Have a care folks. I smell a rat.
I’m not sure.
You are right but remember it’s all about voter fraud. That’s how the cabal got in office. If we stop enough of it in 2024 we win. The way it looks now win in a landslide!!
Hush money is not illegal. No matter how this DA twists it there was also no violation of campaign finance laws. Paying people to go away and shut up is standard in settlements.
Dems know they can’t get a conviction. The whole point of this nonsense is to remind voters that Trump “slept” with a p**n star while his wife was at home with their newborn.
I agree with you about election security so not sure what argument you seek.
If you have a different opinion I am ok with that and respect your right to it, but as far as the GOP primary goes the only candidate for the GOP nomination that was stronger in my lifetime was Reagan who was essentially unopposed.
It is just a fact. Trump has a loyal base and that wins primaries. It does not guarantee much in the general as we found out.
IT ISN’T
Pls, tell me. I want to know.
Yeah me too.
There are entire countries, (including Russia), that would like to "get" him for all the damage he has caused worldwide.
Netanyahu was re-elected Israeli PM after he was indicted.
(Yes it does happen)
DeSantis won’t even be in the primary so you can vote for Biden with a clear conscious. 😆
What on earth is wrong with these people??
I read something about statute of limitations extended a year due to Covid . Also something about if the accused lived out of state.
since at times Biden blurts out truth, he may have been talking about Hunter, not Trump.
Paul S. Ryan??? is that former Congressman, FOX NEWS Board member, Paul Ryan?
