The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump is a current criminal trial against Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records relating to payments made to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about an earlier alleged affair between them. Trump is accused of falsifying these business records with the intent to violate federal campaign finance limits, unlawfully influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and commit tax fraud.[2][3][4][5] The charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if Trump is convicted on five or more counts.[6][7][8][9][a] Trump is the first U.S. president to be indicted.[11][12][13]
The indictment was approved by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30, 2023. Trump traveled from his residence in Florida to New York City on April 3, 2023, where he surrendered to the Manhattan District Attorney's office and was arraigned the next afternoon.[14][15] The trial began on April 15, 2024, and is expected to take about seven weeks.[16] Trial arguments began on April 22.[17]
Months before he was indicted, Trump announced his intention to campaign in the 2024 presidential election;[18][19] neither the indictment nor any resulting conviction would disqualify his candidacy.[20][21]
