Prosecutor’s Office against Donald Trump: It is a case of “criminal conspiracy and cover-up”

NEW YORK, New York.— This Monday, Deputy District Attorney Matthew Colangeloin charge of making the opening statements of the accusation in the criminal trial that faces Donald Trump in a Manhattan courtcharged once morest the former ruler and described the case as a “criminal conspiracy and cover-up” plot.

“The defendant orchestrated a criminal plan to corrupt the 2016 elections, and then covered up the plan, lying in his business records, over and over once more,” Colangelo added as the former US president (2017-2021) shook his head and opted for not looking him in the face.

Accusations once morest Trump

Trump is accused of falsify business documents to buy with 130,000 dollars the silence of the actress Stormy Daniel – who claims to have had a love affair with him in 2006 – and protect her 2016 election campaign.

The Prosecutor’s Office accuses the former president of creating a plan through his former lawyer Michael Cohenwho was supposedly in charge of making the payments, and the former editor of the magazine National Enquirer David Peckerwhich would have used its media power to try to cover up Trump scandals.

But Colangelo went even further, stating that Trump, Cohen and Pecker met in 2015 to “help in the campaign” by eliminating “negative stories” and choosing to publish others that affected internal rivals such as the Republican Ted Cruz.

This, according to the deputy prosecutor’s story, is the “core” of a orchestrated plot through American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of the National Enquirer, of which Pecker was an executive.

According to Colangelo, in this case, for which the former president is accused of 34 charges that might cost him up to four years in prisonpayments were “disguised” and it represented a “electoral interference” in the 2016 elections, in which Trump won over the Democrat Hillary Clinton.

illegitimate child and “affaires” the Trump

In addition, Colangelo referred this Monday to a payment of $30,000 that would have been paid to a former Trump Tower guard who claimed to have information that the former president had a illegitimate child; as well as others that would have been carried out to cover their ‘affaires’ with the also actress Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels herself.

“The defendant did not in any way want this information regarding Karen McDougal to become public because he was worried regarding the elections,” said the prosecutor, who stated that the jury will listen to a telephone conversation between Trump and Cohen regarding the alleged affair with McDougal.
