TL;DR Summary

Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, is examining whether Donald Trump and his company broke state laws in paying hush money to an adult film star. If the grand jury votes to indict, it would be the first time a former president has been indicted. But ultimately, it would be up to Bragg whether to pursue those charges. Republicans are calling Bragg's efforts politically motivated, and Trump has been lobbing abuse at the DA on social media all weekend. Indications are that a grand jury in New York is very close to indicting Trump, but there's no official word on when that decision will be announced.
