Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on charges related to payments made during his presidential campaign to keep allegations of an extramarital affair quiet. This marks the first-ever criminal case against a former US Commander-in-Chief. The specific charges against him have not yet been announced. Trump responded to the news, calling it “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.” He cited previous instances when he was targeted, such as the Mueller investigation and his impeachment.
News of Trump’s alleged affair with a woman named Stormy Daniels surfaced in 2018, when it was reported that Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels a month before the 2016 election. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, said he paid Daniels out of his bank account and was never reimbursed, making it an illegal campaign contribution and fraud. Daniels and Cohen met with prosecutors earlier this month as the Manhattan District Attorney built his case against Trump.
Trump has already announced plans to run for the White House again in 2024. He is hoping to use the indictment to energize his base, claiming that the Democrats have lied, cheated, and stolen in their attempts to “Get Trump.” He also claimed that the indictment was an act of blatant election interference. Many Republican Senators are reportedly in his corner, and he believes that the Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace, according to Trump. He accused Bragg of ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on, instead of doing Joe Biden’s dirty work. Trump believes that the American people realize what the Radical Left Democrats are doing, and his Movement and Party will defeat Bragg, then defeat Joe Biden, and throw every last one of the Crooked Democrats out of office so they can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
