A Manhattan grand jury voted to formally indict Donald Trump on Thursday for bribing porn actress Stormy Daniels, according to various US media reports. It is the first time that a US president has been charged with criminal offences.
One of Donald Trump’s lawyers confirmed the information, indicating that his client had been indicted in New York for charges related to the payment of $130,000 to Daniels, in the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign, to pay his silence to an alleged relationship. extramarital affair that both would have maintained ten years ago.
The sources that gave and ratified the historic news did not specify the charges against the former Republican president. But it is taken for granted that, after the grand jury vote, the prosecutor in the case, Alvin Bragg, would immediately start the machinery that corresponds to a formal judicial accusation for acts of a criminal nature.
Thus, Trump should now be summoned to appear in court; so that they take your fingerprints and take the required photos, frontal and profile; and for them to read his rights. An arrest in which he is handcuffed is not ruled out, judicial informants point out despite the lack of precedents for a nation’s president in such circumstances.
