Trump Indicted on 34 Felony Counts in Hush Money Case
Former President Donald Trump charged with 34 counts related to hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during 2016 campaign.
Former President Donald Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts on April 4, 2023, in connection with a $130,000 hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. The indictment, filed in New York State Supreme Court, alleges Trump falsified business records to conceal the payment, which prosecutors say was intended to influence the election. Trump surrendered to authorities and pleaded not guilty during his arraignment. The charges stem from payments made through his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who previously pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations related to the same payment. The case represents the first criminal indictment of a former U.S. president. Key figures include Cohen, who acted as a fixer for Trump, and Daniels, whose allegations of an affair with Trump formed the basis of the payment.
