DEVELOPMENTS THIS AFTERNOON IN
THE INDICTMENT OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR ALLEGED HUSH
MONEY PAYMENTS. YOU ARE LOOKING
LIVE AT THE COURTHOUSE IN
MANHATTAN, WHERE TRUMP IS
EXPECTED TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK.
NOW THE HISTORIC MOVE SETS UP A
CLOSELY WATCHED POLITICAL AND
LEGAL BATTLE FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT. WE’RE GONNA BRING IN
DEVIN SCILLIAN TO JOIN US NOW,
WITH THE LATEST INFORMATION.
ALSO THE TIMELINE ON THE SEVEN
EXACTLY RIGHT, WHICH WE’RE
SLOWLY STARTING TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT. COURT OFFICIALS DID
CONFIRM TODAY. THE FORMER

ARRAIGNED. TUESDAY AFTERNOON OF
NEXT WEEK IN NEW YORK, NBC NEWS
HAS LEARNED THERE MAY BE AS MANY
AS 30 COUNTS OF DOCUMENT RELATED
FRAUD CHARGES. UH BUT THE EXACT
CHARGES STILL UNKNOWN BECAUSE
THE INDICTMENT IS STILL SEALED.
IT WILL LIKELY STAY THAT WAY
UNTIL THAT ARRAIGNMENT TAKES
PLACE, THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT

INVESTIGATING THE FORMER
PRESIDENT FOR THE HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS INVOLVING TWO WOMEN,
INCLUDING ADULT FILM PERFORMER
STORMY DANIELS, TRUMP’S ATTORNEY
SAYS HE WILL NOT BE TAKING A
PLEA DEAL AND PLANS TO FIGHT THE
CHARGES THIS AFTERNOON, AND NBC
NEWS LEGAL ANALYST SAYS TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY IS MAKING SOME GOOD
POINTS ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE
CHARGES. THIS IS A DEFENSIBLE
CASE BECAUSE THERE MAY BE AN
ISSUE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT NEW
YORK CAN USE A FEDERAL ELECTION
LAW VIOLATION AS A PREDICATE.
THEY WON’T BE PROSECUTING IT SO
MUCH, BUT THEY KIND OF WILL
BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO BE
USING IT TO BUMP UP WHAT WOULD
ORDINARILY BE A MISDEMEANOR
CHARGE TO A FELONY. TODAY SMALL
GROUPS OF PROTESTERS GATHERED ON
BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE. THE
GROUP OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER IN NEW
