Trump’s New York Hush‑Money Indictment - Probably Peter

U.S. President Donald Trump was charged in New York with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
The case is tied to alleged hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign, including a payment to Stormy Daniels.
Prosecutors say the Trump Organization’s internal records mischaracterized reimbursements to Michael Cohen as legal expenses.
Elevating falsified records to a felony in New York depends on intent to conceal or commit another crime, such as an election law violation.
Trump appeared in a Manhattan courtroom and entered a plea of not guilty to all 34 counts.
The arraignment made him the first current or former U.S. president to face criminal charges.
The indictment sparked intense media coverage, public protests, and partisan reactions in Congress.
