NEW YORK HUSH MONEY CASE According to prosecutors
Post# of 123666
According to prosecutors, Trump orchestrated a hush money scheme that lasted from August 2015 — just two months after he formally announced his first run for the presidency — to December 2017, after he took office.
The scheme, they allege, saw Trump ask his attorney to pay off those who were trying to sell negative stories about him, such as women with whom he had had affairs.
Trump appeared in a Manhattan courtroom in April to plead not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. An unsealed indictment lays out the investigation into alleged hush money payments made by Trump, and offers details on the prosecution's case against the former president.
