suspected of extortion
The indictment – one of four major cases in which Trump is suspected of crimes – relates to allegations that he may have tried to influence the state’s 2020 election results, including through extortion.

The indictment, which was filed in March, includes 34 counts against Donald Trump, who is accused of, among other things, ordering payments to people who threatened to release sensitive information about him in connection with the 2016 presidential campaign.
