Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, a historic reckoning after years of investigation into his personal , political, and business dealings, the Yahoo News website reports today (March 31, 2023).
The exact charges were unclear today because the indictment -- the first against a former U.S. president -- remained under seal, but they stem from payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter with a prostitute.
Prosecutors did not say whether they intended to seek prison time in the event of a conviction, a development that would not prevent Trump from seeking the presidency.
