Republicans are outraged. There is talk of witch hunts and political justice. But there are also reservations from the democratic side. One wonders: Does the offense of paying hush money justify the prosecution?
It’s actually a trifle, but it could now have historical consequences: for the first time in history there is a former US President indicted been. An affair with a porn actress that dates back 17 years and which he denies, but above all the hush money payments that followed are catching up with Donald Trump. Because the $130,000 was paid shortly before the November 2016 election, it could be considered campaign finance, but Trump didn’t say so.
