Former US President Donald Trump was indicted in New York on charges involving payments to a porn star made during his 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter.
A New York grand jury voted to indict Trump for the payments made to a porn star, making him the first-ever former US president to face criminal charges.
According to multiple reports, Trump is expected to turn himself in next week, as the details of a surrender are being worked out.
The office of New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who got a grand jury to indict Trump, confirmed that the Republican’s lawyers have been contacted to coordinate his surrender for arraignment.
Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected.
