The Manhattan district attorney’s office might file criminal charges against the Trump Organization and two senior company officials over the “hush money” former Trump attorney Michael D. Cohen paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, according to The New York Times.

The payment to Daniels was recorded as a legal expense. But Cohen said on Tuesday that he paid Daniels in 2016 so she would not speak publicly about her alleged past affair with Trump. According to federal prosecutors, the payment to Daniels was for fake monthly invoices for $35,000 “pursuant to retainer agreement.”
