Donald Trump indictment: Ex-US president to be charged over hush money

Former US President Donald Trump will be charged over hush money payments made to a porn star just before the 2016 presidential election.

The details of the charges he will face have not yet been released.

A grand jury voted to indict him on criminal charges, after investigating a $130,000 pay-out to Stormy Daniels in an attempt to buy her silence over an alleged affair. He denies wrongdoing.

Mr Trump, 76, is the first serving or former US president to face charges.

His lawyer, Susan Necheles, confirmed the indictment in a statement on Thursday evening.

"He did not commit any crime," she said. "We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court."

The ex-president lives in Florida and is expected to travel to New York City for his formal arrest and first hearing in court.

According to his defence team, Mr Trump will surrender next week. The United States Secret Service - which is tasked with protecting serving and former US presidents - will be in charge of security for the court appearance.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reacted angrily to comments by the US president, who urged him to walk away from his controversial judicial reform plans.

"They cannot continue down this road," Joe Biden told reporters.

Mr Netanyahu later tweeted that Israel would make its own decisions, "not based on pressures from abroad".
Mr Trump lashed out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,.
It comes after protests this week brought Israel to a standstill, forcing him to pause the proposals.

The protests have intensified since Mr Netanyahu returned to power at the end of last year, leading the most right-wing, nationalist government in Israel's history and promising to curb the powers of the judiciary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-midd...
