Donald Trump He is the first former US president to face criminal charges.
The 76-year-old president has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on charges centering on payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence allegations of an extramarital sexual encounter. Trump was indicted this Thursday by a grand jury for paying to silence the porn actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump faces more than 30 charges related to business fraud and could appear in court as early as Tuesday.
Trump said he cannot have a fair trial in New York, hours after his indictment for irregular payment of $130,000 to a porn actress in 2016 was revealed.
The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Braggwho opened the case against Donald Trump that this Thursday materialized in his imputation, indicated that he is in coordination with the former president’s team to coordinate “his delivery.”
In a brief statement with which he incidentally confirms the accusation against Trump, Bragg recalls that this accusation “remains under seal”, so it may take several days until its exact content is known.
Mike Pencevice president in the Trump Administration, said that “the idea that a former president is charged for the first time in the history of the United States for a campaign finance case smacks of political persecution.”
