The former President of the United States is accused of forging financial documents of the Trump Organization in payments to former porn actress Stormy Daniels. If arrested, he will be the first ex-president to face serious charges.
Donald Trump is scheduled to attend a hearing in New York on Tuesday, April 4. He is accused of major financial fraud. It was reported by CNN today, March 31.
The former president is expected to arrive in New York on April 3, accompanied by the Secret Service. It is not yet known how security will be provided in the area where the courthouse is located and whether the surrounding streets will be closed.
Trump is accused of fraud with financial documents of the Trump Organization, the result of a $130,000 payment to the media and a former pornographic actress with whom the woman said he had a physical relationship.
The former president’s lawyer, Alina Khabba, describes Trump as the victim of “a corrupt and twisted version of the American justice system.”
Trump himself denies everything and also sees the accusation as “political persecution” and “the highest level of electoral interference in history”.
Meanwhile, if Trump is arrested, he will be the first ex-president to be charged with a felony.
Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump connection
Porn actress Stormy Daniels claimed in 2006 that she had a “spontaneous bond” with Trump before becoming president. In October 2016, a month before his victory in the presidential election, attorney Michael Cohen paid the actor $ 130,000. It’s not a violation, but when Trump returned this amount to the attorney, it was documented as payment of legal costs. The media and experts concluded that Daniels was paid for his silence. The fact itself can already be considered a forgery or falsification of financial documents, that is, a crime.
Recall that on March 30, the grand jury of the Manhattan prosecutor’s office filed a criminal complaint against Donald Trump in the case of paying porn star Stormy Daniels for not providing information about their supposed love.
Recall that on March 18, Donald Trump proposed that the Manhattan District Attorney would be arrested in connection with his investigation into the case of bribing porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about the allegations of love. According to the former president, the district attorney “hates him”.
Earlier, on March 24, Donald Trump said the charges against him were unfounded and that a lawsuit against him could incite nationwide violence and subsequent “death and destruction”.
