The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating whether former President Donald Trump broke the law with payments allegedly made to cover up an extramarital affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels, pictured in 2018.The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating whether former President Donald Trump broke the law with payments allegedly made to cover up an extramarital affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels, pictured in 2018.
The investigation stems from a series of payments Trump made in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, allegedly to prevent accusations that he had had an extramarital affair with Stormy Daniels from becoming public. Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty in federal court in 2018 to making the payments"at the direction" of Trump. Although Cohen served prison time, Trump was never charged, and neither federal nor local prosecutors pursued the case.
Now, though, after securing a conviction of Trump's company on fraud charges, the Manhattan DA's Office has summoned witnesses to testify before a new grand jury, according to the source. Trump, who has said he has done nothing wrong, could face a charge of falsifying business records, the lowest-level felony in New York.

Trump seems destined to win in 2024, then to pardon everyone, including himself. Americans dislike lawyers targeting people based on clear political motivations. If Trump was abusing the legal system to give his corps advantages, then the place for reform is the judiciary.
Cohen is a pimp, she is a whore, and Trump is a John. Most of our politicians know how it works
This one is for real....I can feel it. 100th time's the charm.
Haven’t we already been through this?
tHey ,GoT, HIm ..............nowwwwwwwwwww
He Teflon
I hope this also “lays the groundwork” for prosecuting Trump because he talked back at reporters. Also, his hair bothered me - prosecute that too. And his tie was too long - prosecute it! Thank you so much NPR for this brave reporting
10% for the big guy!
Hahaha! “Possible” fishing for any kind of ratings! So Pathetic
So why aren’t they going after the extortionist? That’s right little miss pornstar isn’t running for president.
NPR is nothing but a tool for the democrat party. This is the kind of news that gets them all hot and randy!
Or, here is 100K just go away, I don't have time for your nonsense money! Why aren't you partisan hacks as interested in real crimes like hunters laptop? Biden's illegally stole documents, pedophiles accusations from Biden's daughter. You guys are 🤡
Never enough time to waste 😵💫
🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣 As Biden is finally getting exposed for the treasonous foreign agent he’s been for decades….Keep trying!!!
…aaand it’s Manhattan in the lead for indictment 1. Georgia coming around the bend and gaining…it’s gonna be a photo finish! IndictTrump
There are 100+ accomplices to the Trump Russia attacks... none of the insurrectionist leaders have sniffed prison. They're all in on it and this is more nothing.
Time to cut every dime of tax payer dollars from NPR. You all are scum.
Awesome. Can't handle a few dozen illegals but they can spend taxpayer money on this. Kudos all around.
Um, Trump sued her and won...
A mountain of evidence to indict the dude squatting in the White House. 6 years of investigations and this is what we come up with. They're terrified of him running. MUST stop him. Cowards.
Yet you won’t report the twitter files…
Neat.. Any progress on the investigation into sex crimes and those who committed them on Epstein Island?
These pathetic s c u m b a g s 😂 nazi tactics
More stories with leaks as a source?
Lock him up
You all are hilarious. Keep up the subsidized propaganda! 👍🏻
What is it Melania calls her? Porn Slut I think. LOL. It's good that they are FINALLY addressing this important fraud on We The People in 2016. I see David Pecker is testifying as well. I wonder if Karen McDougal's payoff will be under review as well. stormydaniels cohen
Another story of ‘possible’ charges against Trump? This must be about the 80th such similar story and NONE have resulted in anything…….just like this one!
Was wondering why trump went off on a rant earlier..now I know. haha
The U.S. government doesn't lock up presidents. There's no precedent. Even the FBI keeps saying they're not in the business of locking up presidents. Presidents know America's secrets. Congress also does not like the optic of a U.S. President in prison.
You've got him now! 😂🤡 NationalPanhandlerRadio NPR DefundNPR
Wait, wasn't this already addressed in federal court?
at some point you have to wonder what the ROI on continuing to try to prosecute him. Obviously if he didn't go down with trump org this is nothing and we saw the nothingburger that his taxes were. seems like they just want to piss money away.
Go after Trump, but real criminals are free to roam NY. George Soros backed DAs.
This is cheap leftist outrage porn. Nothing will happen. And deep in what you like to think of as your heart, you know that.
I think the Manhattan DA has more important things to be focused on. On a recent trip in while walking down 6th Ave, I almost was splashed with someone urinating on the side of a building. I get the obsession with Trump but there are real life problems in Gotham at the moment.
After Stormy's lawyer Avanetti stole her money she said she never had sex with Trump.
NPR can’t shake the TDS
Being unable to charge an obvious criminal with even one of multiple crimes makes America look weak and corrupt. Letting the criminal run for president is even more reason to lessen ties with such a joke of a country.
What a joke this case was already dismissed in a federal court.
How do we stop that criminal charges against Trump that keep getting swept under the rug. For Christ's sake indict and prosecute. Let a jury of his peers examine the evidence and decide.
Paying porn stars has consequences, but trying to overthrow the U.S. Government by force? Yawn.
😂
WELL GOOD AS WE ALL KNOW THE CORRUPT TheJusticeDept AND DO NOTHING MerrickGarland WILL NEVER INDICT TRUMP OR THE OTHERS WHO ATTEMPTED A COUP AND WANTED TO END DEMOCRACY
Isn't that the way lawsuits are settled!
If prison on this matter was necessary for Michael Cohen then it should be necessary for Donald Trump. Give him the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Cell to enjoy.
