“Immediate Past President” of the United States, Donald TRUMP appeared on Tuesday, April 04 before the criminal justice system in New York. This is the very first time in the history of the United States that one of its former Presidents has been indicted and must appear.
Donald TRUMP is indeed formally accused of having paid an adult film actress Stormy DANIELS, whose real name is Stephanie CLIFFORD, the sum of 130,000 dollars for her silence shortly before the 2016 presidential elections and this, to conceal a supposed relationship extramarital dating from 2006.
It is the Manhattan prosecutor Alvin BRAGG, dependent on the justice of the State of New York who is at the origin of this indictment following the vote of a grand jury in favor of this indictment. As a reminder, a grand jury is (a group of citizens to whom justice gives powers of investigation in various cases and who works together with prosecutors.
“We expect the reading of the indictment to take place on Tuesday“, informed Susan NECHELES, D. TRUMP’s lawyer, to the AFP press agency.
And while the respondent evokes a “political persecution“, a “witch hunt“, a “political persecution and interference in the election“Presidential of 2024 for which he is a candidate for the candidacy within his party, his supporters also give voice. Thus Ron De SANTIS governor of Florida and rival of TRUMP within the Republican party declared that this indictment “contrary to american values“. He assures that his state, Florida, where TRUMP resides, will not extradite him if the State of New York requests it.
Same story with Kevin MCCARTHY Republican President of the House of Representatives who believes that it is “a unprecedented abuse of power by prosecutor BRAGG”, that “the american people will not tolerate this injustice“
Conversely, the CNN television channel provides grist for the accusers’ mill and speaks of around thirty charges revolving around fraud to conceal the circulation and accounting at the end of 2016 of the 130,000 dollars.
It should be noted that the judges of the State of New York have been on this case for years in which they are trying to find out whether Donald TRUMP made false statements, violated campaign finance laws to ensure his victory. in the 2016 presidential elections.
