Description: Donald Trump has become the first president – former or current – charged with criminal activity.

In a 34-count felony indictment, prosecutors allege that Trump conspired to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through hush money payments to two women who said they had sexual encounters with him. The charges stem from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The former president has called the indictment "political persecution" and pled not guilty to all counts.

We go over the charges, answer your questions, and talk about what happens next.
