NEW YORK — Donald Trump was formally accused Tuesday of falsifying records about paying off porn star Stormy Daniels — but a careful reading of the indictment and an accompanying statement shows Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and his prosecutors see several ways to win a felony conviction.
Bragg laid out the scope of his case against the former president in a 13-page “statement of facts” released Tuesday, describing a scheme to “catch and kill” embarrassing stories about Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, who Trump allegedly had sex with while married.
That scheme also includes an agreement with the chief of the company that owned the National Enquirer to pay a Trump Tower doorman so he wouldn’t spread a bogus tale that Trump had a child out of wedlock.
