Read our privacy policy Donald Trump lashed out at the Manhattan district attorney and claimed he “never had an affair” after it was revealed that a grand jury would hear evidence on hush money payments to adult film star Stormey Daniels. According to The New York Times, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, a witness who helped arrange the payment agreement between Mr Trump and adult across Stormy Daniels, was seen entering the New York City building where the grand jury is meeting. Cohen was the person reponsible for delivering the payments to Ms Daniels at Mr Trump’s direction, according to court documents federal prosecutors filed when Mr Cohen was indicted on federal charges related to the scheme. The charges Mr Trump could face stemming from the scheme could potentially focus on whether the former president’s company falsified business records to disguise the payments to Mr Cohen as compensation for legal services, rather than as reimbursement for a loan he took out to finance the payment he made for Mr Trump to Ms Daniels.
