A grand jury in New York has voted to indict Donald Trump on a felony charge related to hush money payments made to silence claims of an alleged sexual affair, according to multiple major U.S.
media reports, in a historic and highly consequential move against a former U.S. president. The New York Times and CNN first reported the news Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with the grand jury’s vote, which remains under seal.
The Washington Post, ABC and Reuters have subsequently published their own reports citing sources familiar with the situation.
The Associated Press said it had confirmed the news with Trump’s lawyer. None of the reports confirmed the specific charge Trump is facing.
