MOSCOW, March 31. /TASS/. The Kremlin spokesman refused to comment on Friday on news about the indictment of former US President Donald Trump.

"I don’t think this is a topic for us to comment on," Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "These are internal US processes that we do not consider necessary to comment on," he added.

Case against Trump

The New York Times reported that on March 30 a grand jury indicted Trump for falsifying business records of his company, the Trump Organization. So far, it is not clear what charges exactly the ex-US leader will face. According to the newspaper, Trump has been contacted to coordinate his surrender to authorities.

The New York grand jury convened to look into reports of Trump’s alleged involvement in a scheme, in which the former president’s onetime lawyer Michael Cohen paid $130,000 in hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016, when Trump was in the midst of his presidential campaign. The purported payment was intended to stop Daniels from spreading allegations of having relationship with Trump in 2006. The Manhattan district attorney’s office believes that the funds were reimbursed by the Trump Organization, and its financial records have been falsified to conceal this fact.
