TL;DR Summary

The Manhattan district attorney's office is investigating former President Donald Trump over a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 presidential race. The payment was made by Trump's then-attorney, Michael Cohen, to prevent Daniels from going public with her allegations of a 2006 affair with Trump. The investigation centers around whether the Trump Organization falsified business records in the way it recorded the reimbursement payment to Cohen. The Manhattan grand jury conducting the probe has heard testimony from some of Trump's closest allies and former aides, including former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and Trump's 2016 campaign spokesperson, Hope Hicks.
