Donald Trump's indictment: Specific charges are not yet known, as the indictment remains under seal

Former US president Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for his alleged role in paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury after a probe into hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, becoming the first former US president to face criminal charges even as he makes another run for the White House.

The charges from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg come as Trump seeks the Republican nomination to run again in 2024.

Even potential presidential rivals voiced support for Trump. "This will only serve to divide our country," Trump's former vice president Mike Pence said on #CNN.

“I think the American people will look at this and see it as one more example of the criminalisation of politics in the country,” he said.

Pence, a potential candidate in the 2024 Republican primary, added that the move against Trump has “no bearing on our decision” to launch his own presidential campaign.
