KABUL (Pajhwok): Former US President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury after a probe into hush money paid to an adult movie star Stormy Daniels, according to a media report on Friday.
The move makes Trump the first US president to face criminal charges even as he makes another run for the White House.
The specific charges are not yet known, as the indictment remains under seal. CNN on Thursday reported Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud.
Trump said he was “completely innocent” and indicated he would not drop out of the 2024 presidential race. He accused Bragg, a Democrat, of trying to hurt his chances of winning re-election against Democratic President Joe Biden.
“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history,” he said in a statement.
