According to CNBC:
The indictment accuses Trump of paying off two different women who previously claimed to have had an affair with him, as well as a former Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have knowledge of Trump fathering a child out of wedlock.
Trump plead not guilty to all of the 34 charges.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accused Trump of trying to win the 2016 presidential election in a presser announcing the charges—arguing he’d illegally covered up records of payments to Daniels in doing so.
