Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York for hush money payments made to a porn star during his 2016 campaign. This makes him the first former US president to face criminal charges.
The indictment, which Trump denies, is expected to have a significant impact on his current presidential race and future political aspirations. Trump’s lawyer expects him to be arraigned next week, with the felony charges against him to be revealed at that point.
Trump has slammed the indictment as “political persecution and election interference,” while his Republican allies and sons have denounced it as a vendetta aimed at derailing his 2024 campaign.
Meanwhile, his expected challenger for the Republican party nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, slammed the indictment as “un-American.
” The impact of the indictment on Trump’s election chances is unpredictable, but it is expected to juice turnout among his base, boosting his chances in the party primary.
