A New York grand jury has voted to convict former US President Donald Trump, The New York Times reports.
The newspaper’s information is based on four sources with access to the case. The indictment is expected to be announced sometime in the coming days.
The information was confirmed by Trump’s lawyer to the Associated Press news agency. But neither the attorney general nor the indictment jury has made a statement yet.
“never happened before”
Stephanie Clifford says she was paid to remain silent about a sexual encounter she had with Trump in 2006.
A jury led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has now voted to indict the former president.
– The trial of a former president has never happened before in American history. In this way, this trial is unique. At the same time, Americans have heard about these silent payments for many years now, and it’s hardly something that surprises many, says SVT USA correspondent Fouad Youssef.
The former president denies
Donald Trump himself denies having an affair with Clifford.
Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified to paying bribes to both Stephanie Clifford and another woman, former Playboy model Karen McDougall, who also alleges she had a sexual relationship with Trump.
