Trump Again

He just won't go away.

Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York over a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Daniels claims she had an affair with the former US president in 2006. Trump denies the affair, but has admitted directing his one-time lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen to pay Daniels $130,000 for her silence.

Here is what we know so far:

• Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s spokesperson told the media: “This evening we contacted Trump’s attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan DA’s Office for arraignment on a supreme court indictment, which remains under seal. Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected.”
• Trump was expected to appear in court for his arraignment on Tuesday, Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles said. At that point he would enter a plea on the charges.
• It is unclear whether Trump will be handcuffed at his appearance but he will be fingerprinted, photographed and processed for a felony arrest. His legal team is expected to vigorously fight the charges, and a timeline for a potential trial remains unclear.
• No former US president has ever been criminally indicted. The news will shake the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, in which Trump leads most polls.
• Trump attacked Bragg and US President Joe Biden in a statement released shortly after the news broke, claiming the indictment amounted to “political persecution”. “I believe this witch-hunt will backfire massively on Biden,” Trump said. “Our movement, and our party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden.”
• New York’s police have been told to all report for duty on Friday and be prepared to deal with “unusual disorder”, according to a memo seen by NBC.

Just a little ironic that an idiot that violently refused to accept the result of the Biden election is now claiming that people are trying to disrupt the political process...

I think it is his complete lack of class that upsets people.

He got caught. He's admitted paying off a porn-star so of all the many cases against him, this is fairly minor - did he pay this personally or using a fraudulent business payment.

I don't see the irony. He claimed the election was rigged, he claims this is rigged.

Pelosi tweeted 'everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence'

 

[WTFH]

What's he done that others haven't

He allegedly paid off a prostitute, but put it through as a business expense.

Funnily enough, when he was paying Stormy Daniels off, he was referring to Hillary Clinton as "Crooked Hillary" and demanding that she be locked up, but that wasn't political, whereas this is, in the minds of his worshippers.
