New York | The cover-up is worse than the crime, the expression goes. And in the hush money case against Donald Trump, prosecutors say the cover-up made the crime worse.
In an indictment and other documents unsealed on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), prosecutors say Trump falsified internal business records at his company about a payoff to a porn actor to keep a potentially damaging story from coming to light as he campaigned for the presidency in 2016.
