Grand jury indicts Former President Donald Trump in New York | USA TODAY

Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury, making it the first ever criminal case against a former U.S. president.

A New York grand jury voted to indict Donald Trump on unspecified criminal charges in a case that marks the first time a former president has been charged criminally, his lawyers confirmed.

The grand jury had been investigating hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had sex with him. The outline of those payments became public only after he was elected in 2016 and more details were revealed in sworn testimony as Trump served in the White House.

I have no dog in the race; I am not an American, so I'm asking out of curiosity. What does this decision mean? So if a man cheats on his wife, he goes to jail in the US !!!??? It can't be right!
