NY law enforcement officials prepping security plans in case of Trump indictment
[IsraelTimes] Preliminary conversations held over practicalities of potential court appearance by ex-US president as part of probe into hush money paid to women who allege sexual encounters.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has apparently been examining whether any state laws were broken in connection with the payments or the way Trump’s company compensated former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for his work to keep the women’s allegations quiet. Daniels and at least two former Trump aides — onetime political adviser Kellyanne Conway and former spokesperson Hope Hicks — are among witnesses who have met with prosecutors in recent weeks. Cohen has said that at Trump’s direction, he arranged payments totaling $280,000 to porn actor Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. According to Cohen, the payouts were to buy their silence about Trump, who was then in the thick of his first presidential campaign.
