Read the indictment against Donald Trump, details of payments to porn star, Playboy model

Former President Donald Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a scheme that directed hush money payments to two women before the 2016 presidential election.

The 16-page indictment was unsealed in New York court on Tuesday, where the 76-year-old Trump became the first former U.S. president ever to be arraigned on criminal charges.

The indictment says those payments were intended to suppress the claims by the women, porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, claims that they had sex with Trump, in a bid to keep their stories from affecting Trump’s chances against Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
