Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been indicted on criminal charges in New York for his role in organising hush money payments made to an adult film star during his 2016 campaign.
The history-making indictment by the grand jury on Thursday marks the first time a president has been charged in a criminal matter.
It comes as several law enforcement entities are investigating Trump’s conduct in numerous probes.
Trump’s company labeled Cohen’s reimbursement of the payment as a legal expense and did not disclose them in campaign expense reports.
