Former President Donald Trump strongly protested on the 30th (local time) that he was the first criminal indictment among former and incumbent US presidents, calling it “political persecution and the highest level of election interference in history.”
Former President Trump said in a statement that day, “This is political persecution and the highest level of election interference in history.” It has been a witch hunt.”
Former President Trump said, “The Democrats lied, cheated, and stole (the 2020 presidential election) while obsessing over ‘get Trump. .
“This witch hunt will be a huge headwind for Joe Biden (President),” he said. “Americans knew exactly what the radical left was doing here, and everyone saw it.”
Former President Trump said, “Our party will first defeat Alvin Bragg (the prosecutor in charge of the case), then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we will make America great again by kicking all the crooked Democrats out of office.” He even quoted his campaign slogan.
The New York Times (NYT), citing multiple sources, said that a New York Manhattan grand jury had decided to indict former President Trump in connection with the allegation that he had paid adult actors money to silence sexual misconduct.
In the meantime, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has witnessed a case in which former President Trump paid $130,000 (about 170 million won) to silence former porn star Stormy Daniels, who was trying to expose claims of sexual relations with him ahead of the 2016 presidential election. I have listened to testimonies and reviewed the evidence.
The New York Times said that the grand jury will announce the indictment decision in a few days, and that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted Trump, will ask Trump to appear.
