Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is said to be nearing a decision on whether to charge former President Donald Trump for alleged wrongdoing involving hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. If Mr. Bragg does pull the trigger on an indictment, the former president likely would be charged with falsifying business records.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is said to be nearing a decision on whether to charge former President Donald Trump for alleged wrongdoing involving hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The charge is a misdemeanor but under New York state law could be upgraded to a felony in certain circumstances. A felony conviction would carry a prison sentence of up to four years. Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor in Mr. Bragg’s office who worked on the case, alleges that Mr. Cohen submitted phony invoices referencing a retainer agreement with Mr. Trump. Mr. Cohen then received a series of checks hand-signed by Mr. Trump while he was president, according to a book authored by Mr. Pomerantz.

Typically, falsifying business records is a misdemeanor offense. Prosecutors can upgrade it to a felony if they allege the defendant falsified the records to conceal a second crime. It is unclear if Mr. Bragg’s team intends to argue there was another crime.
