Donald Trump indicted: Stormy Daniels' 'hush money' allegations against him explained

Former US President Donald Trump has been formally charged by a New York court for allegedly paying 'hush money' to ex-porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair.

Daniels has claimed that she was paid $1,30,000 shortly before the 2016 election.

Former US President Donald Trump has been formally charged by a New York court for allegedly paying 'hush money' to ex-porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair.
Who is Stormy Daniels and what are the charges against Trump?
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in a 2011 interview told In Touch Weekly magazine about her sexual encounter with Trump during a golf charity event in July 2006.
She claimed that Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer, had negotiated a secret payment to ensure her silence on Trump's behalf.
In the interview, which was later published in 2018, Daniels claimed that she was paid $1,30,000 shortly before the 2016 election.
Cohen and Trump reportedly had a fallout while Trump was the US President.
Trump is now facing charges of violating campaign finance laws for the 'hush money' paid to Daniels in 2016.

What is the India connect to Pablo Escobar's hippos? | watch to find out

The South American nation is planning to shift 70 of Escobar's hippos to Mexico and India and the entire cost of the operation will reportedly cost the country approximately $3.5 million.

Cocaine baron Pablo Escobar's hippopotamuses' are exacting a heavy price from Colombia for their transporation to oversees sanctuaries.&nbsp;
The South American nation is planning to shift 70 of Escobar's hippos to Mexico and India and the entire cost of the operation will reportedly cost the country approximately $3.5 million.
Authorities said they plan to capture and move nearly half of the hippopotamuses in the coming months, with 10 bound for the Ostok Sanctuary in northern Mexico, and 60 destined for India.
&ldquo;The whole operation should cost around $3.5m,&rdquo; Ernesto Zazueta, the owner of the Ostok Sanctuary said.
He and the local governor of the Colombian region that is home to the hippos say they plan to lure the animals with bait into pens, where they will remain confined before being put in special crates for the transfer.
Pablo Escobar, the drug lord, brought 4 of these African animals to Colombia in the 1980s. However, after Escobar's death in 1993, the animals escaped his estate and began roaming freely in hot, marshy lands and grew in number.&nbsp;
The present count of Escobar's hippos stands at 150. A sterilisation program by Colombia did not work on the animals either because hippos breed faster than authorities can catch and castrate them.&nbsp;
News organisation The Guardian reported that with no natural predator to keep the beasts in check, their population will continue to rise with one study estimating that by 2034, their number will be 1,400.&nbsp;
Citing various studies, The Guardian further reported that the hippos are polluting the area they are residing in, in Colombia and that there has been a rise in hippo-human conflict.&nbsp;
The environment ministry declared the hippos an invasive species in 2022, which opened the door to an eventual cull. But the hippo transfer plan is seen as a life-saving measure. with AFP inputs

This is reportedly the third time when Pakistan's Twitter account has been restricted in India.
Earlier in October 2022, the Twitter account of the Pakistan government was withheld in India. It was withheld earlier in July as well but had been reactivated and was visible. According to Twitter guidelines, the microblogging site takes such action in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.&nbsp;
In June last year, Twitter in India banned official accounts of Pakistan Embassies in the United Nations, Turkey, Iran and Egypt. In August, India blocked eight YouTube-based news channels, including one operating from Pakistan and one Facebook account for posting "fake, anti-India content" online.

UK: terror scare after Pakistan-linked uranium found in cargo at London airport, say reports

The uranium was not weapons-grade, which means that it couldn't be used to make a nuclear bomb, according to reports.

A major security scare was sparked in the United Kingdom after a shipment of scrap metal was found to contain uranium at London's Heathrow airport. The radioactive metal is likely to have come from Pakistan, according to UK news reports.
The Counter-Terrorism Command was called after uranium was detected in routine screening of a consignment which came on a flight from Oman on 29 December 2022.
The uranium was not weapons-grade, which means that it couldn't be used to make a nuclear bomb, according to reports. The quantity of the radioactive metal was small and didn't pose a threat to the public, reports quoted officials as saying.
No arrests have been made yet, but the investigation is continuing.

The petition added that this law was used for slaves under which a case can be registered at anyone's request.

Pakistan court strikes down colonial-era sedition law

A high court in Pakistan on Thursday struck down a colonial-era sedition law that criminalised criticism of the federal and provincial governments, terming it inconsistent with the Constitution.

The petition added that this law was used for slaves under which a case can be registered at anyone's request.

A high court in Pakistan on Thursday struck down a colonial-era sedition law that criminalised criticism of the federal and provincial governments, terming it inconsistent with the Constitution.
Justice Shahid Karim of the Lahore High Court (LHC) annulled Section 124-A of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) dealing with sedition, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Justice Karim pronounced the verdict in response to identical petitions seeking to annul the sedition law, the paper said.
One of the petitions, filed by a citizen named Haroon Farooq, which was identical to all other pleas urged the court to declare Section 124-A of the PPC as &ldquo;ultra-vires in terms of Article 8 of the Constitution being inconsistent with and in derogation of fundamental rights provided under Article 9, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19, 19A of the Constitution&rdquo;.
The law states: &ldquo;Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards, the Federal or Provincial Government established by law shall be punished with imprisonment for life to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.&rdquo;
It was argued in the petition that the sedition act was enacted in 1860 which is a sign of British colonial rule, Geo News reported.
The petition added that this law was used for slaves under which a case can be registered at anyone's request.
It was stated in the petition that the Constitution of Pakistan gives every citizen the right to freedom of expression but still, Section 124-A is imposed for making speeches against the rulers.
According to the petition, the law has been recklessly used in Pakistan as a tool of exploitation to curb the right to free speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19 of the Constitution.
The petition said the law was serving as &ldquo;a notorious tool for the suppression of dissent, free speech and criticism in free and independent Pakistan&rdquo;.
Over the past few years, the petition argued, various politicians, journalists and activists had been booked under Section 124-A.

Nothing in the US Constitution prevents someone from running for president while facing charges

Hush money case: what does indictment mean for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid

The historic indictment of Donald Trump is a seismic moment for the 2024 US presidential campaign, but it is impossible to predict whether the political earthquake will cause lasting damage or settle in his favor.

Nothing in the US Constitution prevents someone from running for president while facing charges

The historic indictment of Donald Trump is a seismic moment for the 2024 US presidential campaign, but it is impossible to predict whether the political earthquake will cause lasting damage or settle in his favour.
Trump can pursue his 2024 White House campaign despite facing criminal charges.
Nothing in the Constitution prevents someone from running for president while facing charges, and even a conviction would not bar them from the nation's highest office.
The 14th Amendment does prohibit anyone who has "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding elected office.
The House of Representatives impeached Trump for "incitement of insurrection" for the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress by his supporters, but he was acquitted by the Senate.
A special counsel is currently looking into Trump's role in the January 6 assault on Congress and the former president could still potentially face charges on that front.

 Donald Trump formally charged in hush money case: what happens next

In a political bombshell, Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury, the first ever serving or former US president to face criminal charges.

A defendant can avoid going to trial by entering into a plea agreement with prosecutors, in exchange for a lighter sentence, for example.

In a political bombshell, Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury, the first ever serving or former US president to face criminal charges.
Here's what happened on Thursday and what is expected to happen next:
The grand jury, which meets in secret, voted to indict the 76-year-old former Republican president following an investigation led by the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat.
While the indictment remains under seal, the charges against Trump are believed to relate to hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
The grand jury, which has been meeting since January, indicted Trump after hearing testimony from a number of witnesses.
Among those who testified was Trump's ex-personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, who has admitted arranging a $130,000 payment to Daniels to buy her silence about an affair she had with Trump in 2006.

Trump was invited to testify in person but declined.
Bragg said his office had been in touch with Trump's attorneys to "coordinate his surrender" for arraignment in New York at a future date.
At an arraignment, a defendant is presented with the charges facing them and generally enters a plea.
A judge then decides whether they should be released on bail or taken into custody.
Extra security has been in place for days around the Manhattan courthouse where Trump is expected to make his first appearance.
CBS News, citing Trump's defense team, said the plan is for the former president to surrender early next week. CBS said the Secret Service would be in charge of the arrangements.
Prior to an arraignment, a defendant has their fingerprints and a mugshot taken.
Trump, who insists he is "completely innocent," could refuse to surrender to the New York authorities, forcing them to seek his extradition from his Florida residence.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential Trump rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said that his state would "not assist in an extradition request."
Legal experts said any attempt to fight extradition would at best result in a delay and Trump would eventually have to appear in New York to face the charges.
Once Trump is arraigned and enters a plea, there will be a series of preliminary court hearings to set a date for a trial and decide on witnesses and evidence.
A defendant can avoid going to trial by entering into a plea agreement with prosecutors, in exchange for a lighter sentence, for example.
Given Trump's proclamations of innocence that is unlikely.
