Donald Trump Indictment: Here’s what we know
Trump Indictment: Here’s what we know – Trump is charged with more than 30 counts of corporate fraud in the indictment. It continues to be sealed. The time of the former president’s appearance is uncertain, but it is anticipated that he will be charged in Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office is looking into a $130,000 payment that Trump’s then-personal attorney Michael Cohen made to Daniels in late October 2016, just days before the election, to prevent her from speaking out about an alleged affair with Trump ten years earlier. The investigation got started when Trump was still in the White House. Trump has refuted the relationship.
Trump and his friends have already attacked District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the grand jury’s decision, branding it “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history” despite the fact that the indictment, which has been filed under seal, has not yet been made public.

Donald Trump Indictment: “I’m concerned about the future”
Trump indictment: “I’m concerned about the future”- Voters have been sharing their fervent feelings about the first prosecution of a former president. Regardless of their political views, the majority of the voters in our sample felt that the extraordinary case puts the US in new territory. This is a great illustration of how the judiciary has become politicized. It’s a terrible error. vengeance in the manner of the banana republic. It completely undermines our legal system, in my opinion, and positions the US for future difficulties.
It’s a complete wreck and a big mess. Any respect that many members of the public may have had for the rule of law is destroyed by this action done by the New York district attorney. It does not foster confidence or trust in our system. It is quite alarming. It’s a massive mistake, and the consequences will be profound and wide-ranging. I am concerned about the future of our nation.
Our institutions and practices will be put to the test like never before as we enter difficult times. Because of a spiteful, petty, and hypocritical action taken by a “smallish” prosecutor in New York, I hope our republic can survive.
