Former US President Donald Trump arrived in New York to appear in court on charges related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He plans to return to Florida immediately after his court appearance, during which he will become the first US president to be prosecuted.
The charges stem from an investigation into a “hush money” payment made to Daniels in 2016. Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, confirmed that he had paid Daniels $130,000 from his own account on Trump’s behalf, and later pleaded guilty to several charges related to the payment.
