Grand jury in New York votes to indict Trump

A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former president Donald Trump, his lawyers said Thursday, as he becomes the first person in U.S. history to serve as president and then be charged with a crime.

The grand jury had been hearing evidence about hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, allegedly to keep her from saying she’d had a sexual encounter with Trump years earlier.
