Former US President Donald Trump has never faced criminal charges, despite battling legal issues for most of his life. That could be about to change. Many, including the former president himself, believe he is on the verge of being indicted. The possible indictment is related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels by his former lawyer Michael Cohen, allegedly to conceal an affair. So how did the situation get to this point? And what would a Trump indictment mean for the 2024 election?
