New York prosecutors have been investigating the payment of hush money to an adult film star before his election in 2016
Former porn star Stormy Daniels claims she had an adulterous affair with the former president, and was paid $130,000 to keep quiet
The payment was legal – but Trump allegedly recorded it as a business expense. Falsifying business records is illegal in New York
Trump is expected to appear in court to face the charges and enter a plea in New York next Tuesday
He denies wrongdoing, and the affair, saying the indictment is “political persecution”
US media say Trump faces more than two dozen charges linked to business fraud – although that is not officially confirmed
Republicans are calling the indictment an “outrage”, while Democrats say no one is above the law
Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina says the former president’s team didn’t find out about the indictment until Thursday evening.
The team has not seen the sealed indictment, Tacopina tells the CBS Mornings show, adding that their understanding is based on media reports
