Former President Donald Trump Indicted on 34 Felony Counts of Falsifying Business Records

A former president has been indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday.

Donald Trump, who served as the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, is accused of involvement in hush money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign. The payments were made to two women who have alleged affairs with him, which he denies.

The indictment alleges that Trump falsified business records in order to conceal the payments. It is unclear what penalties Trump may face if convicted.

The indictment comes as the documentary series, What Happened to America’s Mayor?, examines the life of Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who served as Trump’s personal lawyer during his presidency. The series looks at how Giuliani, who was once considered a hero in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, became an architect of Donald Trump’s election conspiracies.

The documentary series and the indictment against Trump both serve as reminders of the tumultuous four years of the Trump presidency. It remains to be seen what the consequences of the indictment will be for the former president.
