Former President Donald Trump has been invited to testify next week before a New York grand jury that has been investigating hush money payments made on his behalf during his 2016 presidential campaign.
is also investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the election as well as the handling of classified documents at his Florida estate.
The money was paid out of the personal funds of Trump's now-estranged lawyer, Michael Cohen, who then said he was reimbursed by the Trump Organization and also paid extra bonuses for a total that eventually rose to $420,000. Federal prosecutors at the time decided not to bring charges against Trump, who by then was president. The Manhattan district attorney's office then launched its own investigation, which lingered for several years but has been gathering momentum in recent weeks.
Cohen has also met several times with prosecutors, saying after a recent visit that he thought the investigation was nearing a conclusion.
