NEW YORK, March 31 — A New York grand jury on Thursday indicted Donald Trump over hush money payments made to a porn star, making him the first ever serving or former US president to face criminal charges.
Prosecutors in Manhattan will likely ask Trump to surrender and face arraignment, with the felony charges against him to be revealed at that hearing, according toTrump slammed the indictment as “political persecution and election interference,” and vowed it would backfire on his successor Joe Biden, while the former president’s son Eric assailed the “opportunistic targeting of a political opponent.”“The indictment of Donald Trump is no cause for joy,” Clark Brewster tweeted.
His statement set New York on edge for possible protests but the prospect of a quick indictment had receded as the grand jury panel convened to weigh possible charges against Trump continued to hear witnesses — until Thursday. The New York investigation is the first to reach a decision on charges out of three major probes into the former president.
