New York and Washington DC are preparing for a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump in connection with the hush money probe. The probe, which involves payments made to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump, has been ongoing for several years.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has been investigating Trump’s role in the hush money payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal. The payments were made just before the 2016 presidential election to keep the women from going public with their stories.
The Investigation has been focused on whether the payments were made with campaign funds, which would be a violation of campaign finance laws. Trump has denied any wrongdoing. Moreover, he said that the payments were made from his own personal funds.
The New York Investigation has been ongoing for several years, and the Washington DC investigation was launched in 2018 by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The investigations have reportedly intensified in recent weeks, with prosecutors and investigators meeting with witnesses and reviewing evidence.
Sources say that both investigations are preparing to potentially bring charges against Trump, although it is not clear when that might happen. It is also not clear what charges Trump could face, but it is possible that he could be charged with campaign finance violations or other crimes.
The potential indictment of Trump in the hush money probe would be a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president. Trump has faced multiple investigations and lawsuits since leaving office. But, a criminal indictment would be the most serious legal challenge he has faced to date. The investigations in New York and Washington DC are ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. For the latest News updates and blog, visit Beitragpost.
