What you need to know:
Former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case. It marks the first time in US history that a current or former president will face criminal charges.
Trump is expected to appear in court Tuesday for his arraignment, multiple sources tell CNN.
Trump released a defiant statement, calling it “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.”
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 Presidential campaign.
Former Vice President Mike Pence said that while “no one is above the law, including former presidents,” that he cannot “speak to the merit of this case at all.”
“I really do believe that this decision today is a great disservice to the country and the idea that for the first time in American history a former president would be indicted on a campaign finance issue to me, it just smacks of political prosecution, and I think the overwhelming majority of the American people will see it that way,” Pence told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
