Trump's Possible Indictment Over Hush Money Looms

Law enforcement agencies and the Manhattan district attorney’s office are preparing for a potential indictment against former President Donald Trump over hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. If indicted, Trump will be fingerprinted and processed like any other defendant, but the Secret Service will take the lead in deciding whether to handcuff him. Local, state, and federal authorities are actively planning for Trump’s possible indictment, but the interagency planning meetings are precautionary and do not guarantee an indictment. The possible charges would stem from Trump’s onetime fixer Michael Cohen paying Daniels hush money in the last days of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has repeatedly denied having an affair with Daniels and called the investigation a “witch hunt.”
