The Grand Jury of the Manhattan Court voted to indict Donald Trump, accused of illegally paying a porn star, Stormy Daniels, who had threatened in 2016 to reveal having had sex with the tycoon. The tycoon will be the first former president to face criminal charges and will appear in court on Tuesday.
The story is destined to weigh heavily in the 2024 election campaign, when the tycoon intends to reappear regardless of his legal problems. O New York Times writes that the former republican leader is in Mar-a-Lago where he denies any accusation and speaks of a “political persecution”. “I believe – said Trump – that this witch hunt is going to backfire against Joe Biden massively. The American people understand exactly what the radical left Democrats are doing here”.
In the coming days, Trump will have to travel to Manhattan for fingerprints and other documents. At that point, prosecutors working for District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg will ask the former White House tenant to face as-yet-undisclosed charges.
