Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has been indicted on 34 felony counts in a shocking turn of events. The indictment, unsealed on Tuesday, marks a significant milestone in a long-running investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing.
According to the indictment, Trump is accused of making a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed she had an affair with Trump in 2006. The payment, reportedly made through a law firm, was allegedly aimed at preventing Daniels from speaking publicly about their alleged tryst.
The indictment alleges that Trump's actions were part of a larger scheme to silence his former lover and avoid the media fallout associated with the affair. Critics have long accused Trump of using his wealth and influence to cover up his personal misdeeds, and this latest development has sparked renewed calls for accountability from those affected by his presidency.
Trump's lawyers have released a statement denying all charges against him. However, prosecutors say they have overwhelming evidence that Trump knowingly paid hush money to silence Daniels, which is a felony under New York law.
The indictment also includes 10 additional counts of falsifying business records, six counts of conspiracy to commit falsify business records, and 18 other charges related to making false statements to the FBI.
