Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying documents in the first degree. The charges were in relation to an alleged payout of $130,000 made by his former legal counsel Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The 34 counts of falsifying business records were in the first degree, meaning that the alleged crimes were committed in order to commit further crimes. After the hearing, Trump planned to fly back to Florida where he was set to make a speech regarding the arraignment.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg reportedly plans to impose a gag order on the former president, which House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called “unconstitutional”. They added that imposing restrictions on the ability of the former president to discuss his mistreatment would only demonstrate the weaponization of the New York justice system. Trump is a 2024 presidential candidate and this legal action against him could impact his future political aspirations. The case is still ongoing and it is yet to be seen how it will develop.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a Soros-backed and Obama/Biden connected shit bag. Here is a link to the actual legal document that spells out the charges. Gateway Pundit website.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, during his 2021 Democrat primary race, campaigned on suing the Trump administration more than 100 times, a video unearthed by the Republican National Committee shows.
“Let’s talk about what is waiting for the new DA — the docket,” Bragg said about upcoming future cases for the new DA. “We know there is a Trump investigation.”
