On Thursday, a grand jury in Manhattan voted to indict Trump in connection with hush payments made to an adult film star ahead of the 2016 election. The indictment, although still under seal, reportedly includes over 30 counts which Trump will face at his arraignment on Tuesday. The report said the charge of falsifying business records "in the first degree" is a class E felony, the lowest level felony. It is the top charge in the indictment secured by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, the report added. If convicted on the felony count Trump would face up to four years in jail. Trump denies the allegations, as well as the affair and has characterized the case as a "witch hunt" and political persecution.
