The former Manhattan District Attorney who decided against investigating Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels' payment case admitted that the charges and how they were pursued are unprecedented.
While Cy Vance said there is a history of elevating documentation falsification to felonies, he's never seen it done in a case regarding federal election law, which is what is happening in the indictment of Trump.
The Manhattan grand jury handed down an indictment against Trump on Thursday. While the specifics are still sealed, reports indicate there could be at least 30 counts related to business fraud.
The case stems from a $130,000 payment from Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 to remain quiet about an alleged affair with Trump a decade prior.
