It is an unprecedented trial: Donald Trump is the first former president in the history of the United States to face criminal charges. The Manhattan district attorney’s office announced charges against the Republican on Thursday night. The indictment has so far been kept secret – the exact allegations and details are therefore still unclear and will not become public until the indictment is read.
It is known that these are hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump made this payment shortly before his election as president in 2016 to prevent Daniels from revealing a possible affair between the two. Trump denies an affair, but not that money was flowing. The payment may violate campaign finance rules.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, wants to testify against Trump. Now she has already spoken to the British Times. “Trump is no longer untouchable,” she told the newspaper. She said of the charge:
However, she also warns of the consequences. “A lot of good can come out of it. But either way, a lot of bad things will come out of it.” Trump has already caused death and destruction in the past, Daniels said, likely in view of the storm on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “Whatever the outcome, there will be violence and there will be injuries and deaths.” , she says. Certainly?
Daniels isn’t the only one who fears unrest. In New York, authorities have been increasing security for almost a week. According to various American media, the indictment hearing will take place on Tuesday in a court in southern Manhattan. Barriers have already been placed in front of the building. Plainclothes police officers in the metropolis of millions have to wear their service uniforms for days in order to increase the visible presence of the police.
Radical Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, among others, called for protest after the indictment. “I’m going to New York on Tuesday,” the Trump supporter wrote. “We must protest against the unconstitutional witch hunt!” Within the framework of constitutional rights, Trump will be supported and protested “against tyrants.” So far, however, there have only been isolated protests by a few dozen people in front of the court and Trump Tower.
