Manhattan prosecutors have accused Donald J. Trump, who has endured two impeachment trials, a special counsel inquiry, and decades of investigations, of planning a secretive payment scheme to secure his path to the presidency and concealing it from the White House. Mr. Trump has denied the charges against him, but this case carries significant political ramifications and marks a risky new phase in the high-profile life of the real estate tycoon and former president. It also raises the possibility of a humiliating criminal trial for him.
Mr. Trump, who is facing 34 felony charges, appeared at the Criminal Courts Building in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday. Despite his supporters rallying outside, the former president remained quiet and passive at the defense table, attentively listening to the prosecutors as they presented their case against him. During the hearing, Mr. Trump only spoke a few words and pleaded ‘not guilty’. This surprised people as he recently attempted a third run for the White House.
New information regarding Mr. Trump’s is being released by the minute.
