In March, former US President Donald Trump was indicted by the Manhattan grand jury for allegedly paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels (44).
As broadcasters CNN and CNBC report, the trial against the Republican has now been launched: accordingly, the trial is tentatively scheduled for March 25, 2024. the court has to answer.
According to CNN, the responsible judge Juan Merchan (61) emphasized that he did not want to prevent Trump from campaigning in any way. During the hearing, which lasted only minutes, the judge’s ex-president was told not to publish internal court documents. Trump himself was connected by video, wearing a suit and sitting in front of two American flags.
Trump has been charged with 34 counts since early April in New York: The prosecutor’s office has charged the Republican with falsifying business documents. He said before and after the 2016 presidential election, he wanted to hide damaging information and illegal activities to improve his chances of voting. Under New York election laws, it is a criminal offense to conspire to illegally advance a candidate in an election.
The main background to the case is that Trump had paid $130,000 in hush money to the porn actress Stormy Daniels shortly before his election as president. She had claimed she had sex with him. Trump denies an affair, but not that money was flowing. Confidentiality agreements between two parties are not in themselves illegal. However, Trump is accused of illegally recording the payments, trying to illegally conceal them and thereby covering up other violations of the law.
Trump is the first former president in US history to face criminal charges. The candidate for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election had pleaded “not guilty.” (SDA)
