Former President Donald Trump, who was indicted on suspicion of ‘silencing sexual scandal’, is scheduled to proceed with the indictment procedure in the New York State District Court on the 4th.
It is the first time in US history that a current or former president of the United States has been criminally charged.
A grand jury in Manhattan, New York, on the 30th of last month, decided to indict former President Trump in connection with allegations of paying money to a former adult actor to silence sexual harassment.
Citing an anonymous source, various media reported that former President Trump, who is currently staying at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, plans to go to New York on the 3rd to spend the night at Trump Tower and appear in court on Tuesday the 4th.
Attorney Joe Takopina, who defends former President Trump, appeared on ABC on the 31st of last month and predicted that “former President Trump will not be handcuffed.”
“Former President Trump will stand before a judge and claim his innocence,” he said.
Former President Trump said in an email sent to supporters on the 31st, “I am not afraid of what will happen in the future.”
The Trump campaign said it raised more than $4 million in political contributions in one day after announcing the Manhattan grand jury indictment.
