An unprecedented judgment
New York will be the scene of a unique appearance for a former president of the United States. The 76-year-old billionaire, who is still in the race for the Republican nomination, is expected in Manhattan court on Tuesday where the charges against him will be communicated to him. Just like a lambda defendant, the former tenant of the White House will have to state his identity, his profession, and submit to “mugshot“, these famous photos where the accused must be taken from the front and from both profiles. A situation that the person concerned describes as “witch hunt“. Same story with Joe Tacopina. “Tuesday is the day, in my opinion, that the rule of law in the United States died“, declares Donald Trump’s lawyer to AFP. Once the judicial ritual is over, Donald Trump plans to return to Florida where he should speak in the evening (8:15 p.m. GMT).
