When Trump was president, he reimbursed Cohen with monthly $35,000 checks from his personal account. Why was Trump indicted?Ĭohen – now an outspoken Trump foe who testified before the grand jury in the Manhattan case – made the $130,000 payment to Daniels in October 2016. Trump’s attorney at that time, Michael Cohen, orchestrated the payment to buy Daniels’ silence over an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. The indictment relates to a hush-money payment made on his behalf to the adult film maker and actor Stormy Daniels in 2016, shortly before election day as Trump ran for president. At this point the specific charges were not immediately made public. The sealed felony indictment is likely to be unsealed in the next few days.
