BREAKING: Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, his lawyer said, becoming the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges.

A lawyer for Donald Trump said Thursday he's been told that the former president has been indicted in New York on charges involving payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter.

It becomes the first ever criminal case against a former U.S. president and a jolt to Trump’s bid to retake the White House in 2024. Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Trump, told The Associated Press he had been told that a grand jury that had been meeting for months voted to indict Trump. The specific charges were not immediately made public.

Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing and has attacked the investigation, was expected to surrender to authorities next week, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss a matter that remained under seal. The grand jury indictment of Trump, 76, is an extraordinary development after years of investigations into his business, political and personal dealings. It is likely to galvanize critics who say Trump lied and cheated his way to the top and embolden supporters who feel the Republican is being unfairly targeted by a Democratic prosecutor.

Why was Pres Clinton never indited for his few women said he sexually attacked them. Did he pay off a few I guess did not use his campaign? Was it proven he used his campaign money. How many do use this for homes and whatever? DASoros money?

Constitutional experts told ABC News that previous Supreme Court rulings hold that Congress cannot add qualifications to the office of the president. In addition, a state cannot prohibit indicted or convicted felons from running for federal office.

Lawyer: Trump indicted; 1st ex-president charged with crimeA lawyer for Donald Trump says he's been told that the former president has been indicted on charges involving payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter. It’s the first ever criminal case against a former U.S. president and a jolt to Trump’s bid to retake the White House in 2024. Trump has insisted he “did absolutely nothing wrong.” He and his lawyers have said the charges are politically motivated and have suggested he was a victim of extortion. Without being toxic, what does this mean and is he definitely going to be arrested soon? Georgia and the Feds are what we especially need, but still: If Trump is arrested what will they do with his hair.

Pft. Please. Go ahead and hand him the presidency trying to smear him. You learn nothing. You don’t think about the consequences of your actions. He is now the underdog going against the corrupt system. And the case against him is feeble and unsubstantiated. Trump2024

Dark Brandon strikes again! The most beautiful thing about this “inditement”, is the opening of prosecution to such a High Office. IMHO, this will loom incredibly large over the entire Biden family, God willing. 🙏🏻
