Trump becomes first US president indicted on criminal charges

Former US President Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury for hush money payments made to a porn star during his 2016 campaign, becoming the first US president to face criminal charges. Trump denies any wrongdoing, and the indictment is expected to impact the current presidential race and his chances of regaining office in 2024 as reported by Eyewitness News.

Trump’s lawyer expects him to be arraigned on Tuesday next week.

The indictment may include up to 30 counts related to business fraud.

Trump’s allies and sons see the indictment as a vendetta to derail his 2024 campaign.
