The full list of 34 allegations against former president Donald Trump was made public today, and they allege that he paid someone to disprove a rumor that he had an illegitimate child.

Who is Dino Sajudin?
Dino Sajudin is a former doorman at the Trump World Tower building in New York City. He attracted some media attention in 2018 when he asserted that his employer had ordered him to stay silent about a rumored relationship between the then-president Donald Trump and a previous housekeeper at the Trump World Tower complex.
The National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc. (AMI), reportedly paid Sajudin $30,000 for the access to a report about the alleged affair; however, the piece was never released. Sajudin was able to speak openly about the matter once AMI terminated him from his contract following the disclosure of the payment details.

Due to the deal, AMI CEO David Pecker struck with Trump, AMI “falsely characterized this payment” in the business’s financial records and bought the article from Sajudin “without fully investigating his claims,” according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
However, it is important to note that the reported affair has not been established, and both Donald Trump and the allegedly involved former housekeeper have denied it.
On accusations connected to hush money payments made in 2016 during the presidential campaign to dispel claims that he had an inappropriate relationship with actress Stormy Daniels, Trump was arraigned today.
