"Trump's Legal Woes: Indictment Looms as Grand Jury Wraps Proceedings"

A New York grand jury is hearing evidence relating to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016, which could result in an indictment of former President Trump for falsifying business records or breaching election finance laws. If indicted, Trump's presidential campaign could be complicated, but he can still legally run. His GOP rivals would face a tricky choice between tying themselves to Trump or criticizing him and alienating GOP voters. The chances of conviction are open to question, and House Republicans are already in a verbal war with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. If indicted, Trump would presumably surrender to authorities and be fingerprinted and photographed, and authorities in New York are already taking security measures in advance of such a possibility.
