Trump Indicted By Manhattan Grand Jury Over Porn Star Hush Payment​

A Manhattan Grand Jury has voted to indict former President Donald Trump over hush money paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels, according to the NY Times, citing four people familiar with the matter.



The still-sealed felony indictment, which comes as 2024 campaign season comes into focus, makes Trump the first former president in US history to face criminal charges.

The exact charges are not yet known, however the Times expects them to be announced in the coming days by the Manhattan district attorney's office. Prosecutors working for DA Alvin L. Bragg will ask Trump to surrender and face arraignment on said unknown charges.

nlike the investigations that arose from his time in the White House, this case is built around a tawdry episode that predates Mr. Trump’s presidency. The reality star turned presidential candidate who shocked the political establishment by winning the White House now faces a reckoning for a hush money payment that buried a sex scandal in the final days of the 2016 campaign.
Mr. Trump has consistently denied all wrongdoing and attacked Mr. Bragg, a Democrat, accusing him of leading a politically motivated prosecution. He has also denied any affair with the porn star, Stormy Daniels, who had been looking to sell her story of a tryst with Mr. Trump during the campaign. -NY Times


The move also comes just before the grand jury takes a one-month break until late April.

Interestingly, as The Epoch Times' Jack Phillips reported, this month-long delay came after an attorney in former President Donald Trump’s orbit who testified in front of a Manhattan grand jury earlier this month believes that there has been a shift in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against the 45th president.

Well, I think I got through to them, because [Monday] I understand they called back another witness by the name of David Pecker, who used to run the National Enquirer,” Costello, a former Michael Cohen attorney, told Newsmax on Tuesday.
“Basically, what they’re doing is really gerrymandering this,” he said of Bragg’s probe into Trump.

It was to be expected, Trump is a martyr now. The left brain thinks accusations will hurt Trump. In reality they just put a big spotlight on how desperate they are and what they are willing to do to hold onto power. It will be beat back on its face, and Trump will be better for it.
 
It exposes the left to the loss of so many independents. Most Americans can see this is the action of a country
without a Constitution or laws that apply to Democrats. This is over the top and the Democrats have over played
their hand once again. This is a bridge too far. :pat:

Trump will benefit from it. :tiphat:
 
Manhattan New York, a very liberal, Democratic voting district, indicting a conservative Republican. How is this a surprise? In fact it seems like a purely political roast. If they convene a grand jury in Indiana or North Dakota do you think Bill Clinton could be indicted for paying off Paula Jones to the tune of $850K?

Or his other sexual assaults?

Sure, every case is different. But WTF?

 
Probably should also remind people about Presidential CANDIDATE John Edwards who paid off a woman who had his child from an extramarital affair.

Do we really want to live in a nation where the party in power digs up old crap and tries to throw their opponents in jail?
 
Congress has a standing slush fund to pay off accusations of improper behavior.
after it came to light there were promises of it becoming public, never happened, far too many million term congressional types were on the list of 'paid for by'

 
the Biden family is being dismembered in the House investigations right now. I believe the timing of this is a total distraction.
You have to have media coverage or Dems just stay stupid.
Trump will end up beating these charges just like Bill Clinton beats his cheap wh@res :thumbup:

Exactly, the heat is being turned up on Obiden and his pay to play scam and they are deflecting.
 
Trump is sure to get a fair trial.

Judge Juan Merchan's daughter, Loren Merchan, was the director of digital persuasion for Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. His daughter has also worked, indirectly, for the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign through a communications firm that provides services for progressive campaigns.
 
regardless, anything from a hand picked liberal group of individuals in NYC will result in a conviction, no matter the facts.
it will be appealed, and appealed, until finally a judge who uses law, not liberal feelings, gets to rule.
which the NYC zealots will appeal, until it finally goes to SCOTUS and the last full measure of the law is applied.
relax, all things take time . . .
 
The same DA that is so set on jailing Trump has said there should not be anyone arrested for theft. If you are poor theft is not something you can be arrested for. Now if you got a few bucks he will try to hang you. For some reason I don't think I would like to live there.
