Former President Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on Thursday after a years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
FLASHBACK: TRUMP, IN FOX NEWS INTERVIEW, SAYS HE NEVER ‘DIRECTED’ MICHAEL COHEN ‘TO DO ANYTHING WRONG’
As recently as this month, Cohen told Fox News Digital that the payments were made"at the direction of, in coordination with and for the benefit of Donald." Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing with regard to the payments made, and has repeatedly said the payments were"not a campaign violation," but rather a"simple private transaction."
The Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into Trump was opened in 2019 by then-DA Cyrus Vance. The probe was focused on possible bank, insurance and tax fraud. The case initially involved financial dealings of Trump’s Manhattan properties, including his flagship Fifth Avenue building, Trump Tower, and the valuation of his 213-acre estate Seven Springs in Westchester.
