IN NEW YORK: Donald Trump is the first sitting or former US president to be charged with a crime after a New York grand jury indicted him on Thursday for making hush money payments to a porn star.

 

The 76-year-old Republican's historic indictment, which comes despite his denial of any wrongdoing in connection with the payments made before the 2016 presidential election that propelled him to the White House, is certain to upend the current presidential campaign in which Trump hopes to win re-election. On Tuesday, Donald Trump is scheduled to go before a New York court, where he will be the first American president, past or present, to be charged with a crime. Although the accusations have not yet been made public, a grand jury has been looking into a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an illicit relationship with Trump, a claim he has always denied.

According to US media sources, the former president might also be charged with further offenses.

 

Trump insists he did nothing illegal and accuses the Democrats of conducting a witch hunt against him to thwart his bid for the presidency in 2024.

Trump had his first campaign rally in Texas on Saturday, speaking to a far smaller crowd of supporters than the 15,000 he had anticipated in Waco, Texas. 

 

According to Trump, the investigation is being conducted into "something that is not a crime, not a misdemeanor, not an affair," and he has been the target of "one witch hunt and false inquiry after another," he told supporters. "In reality, this is prosecutorial malpractice. That is the name of it. No one's innocence matters in the slightest to these lunatics on the radical left, "He addressed the gathering.
