 — 

The swirl of unprecedented political, legal and historical implications ignited by the indictment of Donald Trump will reach a fever pitch Tuesday when the former president is arraigned in Manhattan.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election.
