Former US President Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury over hush money payments made to adult movie actress Stormy Daniels to cover up their affair. The indictment is expected to upend the current presidential race, in which Trump hopes to regain office. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed that it had contacted Trump’s lawyers to arrange his surrender for arraignment in New York. Trump has slammed the decision as “political persecution” and vowed revenge as he plots to return to the White House in the 2024 election. The felony charges against him will be revealed at his arraignment.
