A Manhattan grand jury has reportedly indicted former President Donald Trump on criminal charges.  According to several national sources, the grand jury voted to indict Trump for his role in paying hush money to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election.   Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has said in the past that Trump directed him to pay off Daniels for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter.  Trump, who already announced that he would run for election again in 2024, would become the first U.S. president to face criminal charges.  He has said that he would remain in the presidential race even if he were indicted.  The indictment is not public and judges routinely keep charges under wraps until defendants make their initial court appearance.
