From the NY POST:
The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” investigation on Thursday voted to indict the former president, two sources with knowledge of the case told The Post.
The sealed indictment was filed with the clerk’s office Thursday evening — setting the stage for the first ever criminal prosecution of a former US president, the sources said. The specific charges were not made public.
The grand jury that returned the unprecedented indictment had since January been hearing evidence and witness testimony related to a hush-money payment made on Trump’s behalf to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
