If Mr Trump is charged, it would be the first indictment of a former president and it would also add to legal challenges he faces as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination for 2024.
He said:"I did absolutely nothing wrong", adding criticism of what he called a"corrupt, depraved and weaponised justice system".
The grand jury has been looking into Mr Trump's involvement in a $130,000 payment made in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels. Ms Daniels has said she had a sexual encounter with Mr Trump years before he became president - something he denies.The money, paid from the personal funds of Mr Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen, was to stop her from talking about the claims.
Cohen said he was reimbursed by the Trump Organisation and paid extra bonuses which made the total $420,000.for orchestrating the payment to Ms Daniels and another woman - former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who said she had a months-long affair with Mr Trump before he was president.
Mr Trump is already being investigated by prosecutors over his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia and by the US Justice Department, as well as over his handling of classified documents, among other issues.
