The case of Donald Trump and hush money to erotic star Stormy Daniels is approaching the grand finale in New York.
New York - Four years after the investigation began, the time has come: the prosecutor's office in the New York borough of Manhattan will begin presenting their evidence against Donald Trump to a "grand jury" on Monday.
The jury will be presented with evidence that Trump was involved in paying adult actress Stormy Daniels hush money.
This is reported by the
New York Times
, citing an anonymous source.
According to Fr.de von Ippen.Media, the investigators from New York are taking the next hurdle and are approaching the goal of accusing Donald Trump of violating campaign finance laws.
Because the $ 130,000 that the erotic actress Daniels received should not come from Trump's account, but instead from the stock market of his election campaign for the 2016 US election.
Donald Trump's affair with Stormy Daniels is catching up with him
The
Wall Street Journal
got the ball rolling in 2018 .
In a report, the magazine revealed that Donald Trump ordered his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, to pay porn star Stormy Daniels a reported $130,000.
Trump wanted to prevent Daniels from speaking about the affair with Trump around ten years earlier and thus endangering his political ambitions in the conservative part of the USA.
Cohen later admitted making the payment to Daniels and pleaded guilty to illegally taking the money from Trump's campaign.
He was sentenced to three years in federal prison.
After his release, the former lawyer settled accounts with Donald Trump in a tell-all book.
Donald Trump himself has so far denied both the affair with Stormy Daniels and his involvement in the hush money payment.
According to the
New York Times
, however, David Pecker, former editor of the
National Enquirer
, a US tabloid, has now been seen entering the Manhattan courthouse.
Pecker allegedly helped Trump pay the money to Daniels.
In 2018, he agreed to cooperate with the authorities and received immunity in return.
