Prosecutors Face Hurdles In Trump's "Hush Money" Case:Analysts | Donald Trump Indictment

The historic step prosecutors took Thursday (March 30) by filing criminal charges against Donald Trump marks the first time an indictment has been brought against any former U.S. president.

Analysts say the decision by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to charge Trump for "hush money" payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, will present distinct hurdles for prosecutors, who will be navigating uncharted waters, giving Trump's lawyers the opportunity to challenge key elements of the case against him.

Trump and his supporters have already alleged that the charges are politically-motivated, a charge that they could repeat before the judge.
