Donald Trump is facing about 30 document fraud-related charges in New York City after a grand jury voted Thursday to indict the former president.
Trump is expected to appear in court for his arraignment Tuesday. The large number of charges likely stems from prosecutors making separate charges for each payment in question.
The case, one of at least three separate and ongoing investigations into the former president, centers around alleged hush money Trump paid to two women to keep quiet about affairs they allegedly had with him ahead of the 2016 campaign, including adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Trump attorney Joe Tacopino said in an interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show Friday that there is “zero chance” the former president will take a plea deal, insisting Trump expects to be vindicated either before or during a trial.
