New York prosecutors have invited ex-US president Donald Trump to testify to a grand jury over the Stormy Daniels case, his lawyer has confirmed.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Manhattan district attorney has investigated Mr Trump for five years over alleged hush money payments made on his behalf to the ex-porn star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Inviting him to a grand jury indicates he could face charges, US media report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Daniels says she got $130,000 before the 2016 election in exchange for silence about an alleged affair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Trump denies they had sexual relations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A grand jury is set up by a prosecutor to determine whether there is enough evidence to pursue charges in a case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It is held in secret, and several former aides of Mr Trump have reportedly testified in this case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If prosecutors proceed, it could be the first criminal case ever brought against a former US president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is one of several in which Mr Trump is currently being investigated, although he has not yet been charged in any and denies wrongdoing in each.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
