In a major development, a third indictment has been issued against former President Donald Trump. Prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment and statement of facts against Trump on Tuesday, marking a significant escalation in the legal battles he is facing.

The indictment stems from an investigation into Trump's financial dealings, specifically relating to the Trump Organization and its alleged involvement in tax fraud and other financial crimes. The statement of facts released by prosecutors outlines a series of alleged offenses, including falsifying business records, tax evasion, and defrauding insurance companies.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and called the indictments a "witch hunt." However, the unsealing of the indictment and statement of facts provides a detailed account of the prosecutors' allegations against Trump, setting the stage for a potentially lengthy and complex legal battle.
