"The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
The indictment, the first ever for a former U.S. president, stems from a grand jury investigation into hush money paid before Trump was elected president.
Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing related to the payments. In court, he pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, made a payment in 2016 over an alleged sexual encounter. Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign laws, among other charges, in 2018. At the time, federal prosecutors declined to charge Trump, then the sitting president.

The new indictment alleges that between Feb. 14, 2017 and Dec. 5, 2017, Trump falsified records of invoices paid to Cohen. In court documents, Bragg said the former president paid Cohen monthly for supposed legal services, but in reality the payments were reimbursements for the alleged hush money.
In addition, the prosecutor's statement of fact said the chairman and chief executive officer of American Media Inc., which owns and publishes the National Enquirer, made payments on Trump's behalf to another woman who alleged sexual encounters with Trump, as well as to a doorman who claimed Trump had fathered a child out of wedlock.

Court documents allege that while Cohen, Trump and David Pecker, the publisher, concluded the story was false, the doorman kept the money. Pecker was invited to a dinner at the White House after the election "to thank him for his help during the campaign," prosecutors added.
According to the statement of fact, Cohen set up two shell companies to transfer money to the women, and in Feb. 2017, Cohen met with Trump in the Oval Office to "confirm this repayment agreement."

Trump, who will speak from Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night, has not yet commented on his arraignment, but he posted online that it was "surreal" on his way to the courthouse.
The case is one of several federal and state investigations into Trump, who is running for president again in 2024. Others focus on the presidential transfer of power and Trump's role in the Jan. 6 attack, the classified documents found at his Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, and efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn 2020 election results in Georgia.
