Trump will not accept an invitation to appear before a grand jury investigating a 'hush money' payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Former President Donald Trump will not accept an invitation to appear before a Manhattan grand jury investigating a"hush money" payment allegedly made on his behalf days before the 2016 election.
"He won't be participating in that proceeding — a proceeding that we and most election law experts believe is with absolutely no legal merit,"The potential case was described by former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz in his recent memoir as"novel" and untested.
Sources familiar with Trump's legal team's deliberations told CBS News they expect an indictment is coming. In his memoir"Disloyal," Cohen described wiring the money through a newly-created limited liability company. Cohen and Daniels have claimed she and Trump signed a non-disclosure agreement using the aliases David Dennison and Peggy Peterson.
