Former president of the USA, Donald Trump was on April 4, arrested at a courthouse in New York City.
The 76-year-old, who’s the first former US president to be arrested on criminal charges, is being arraigned at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse over an alleged $130,000 (£104,000) hush money payment given to adult film actress Stormy Daniels on his behalf in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, which he won.
SkyNews reports that the said sum was allegedly made to prevent her from discussing a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump at a hotel in Lake Tahoe in 2006.
Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen has said the ex-president directed him to arrange the $130,000 payment to Ms Daniels. And Trump has acknowledged reimbursing him for the payment, with the Trump Organization logging the reimbursement as legal expenses.
