Ex-president USAOn Thursday, a New York state court brought criminal charges against Donald Trump, which is unprecedented as he will be the first former president of the country to go through this process. And this is just the first step on a long legal journey.
A New York court launched an investigation in 2018 after an alleged $130,000 payment to an adult film actress was discovered. Stormy Danielsshortly before the 2016 presidential election to cover up an alleged extramarital affair with Trump.
The amount was not declared in the campaign invoices Donald Trumpthereby violating state election laws, and was recorded as “legal fees” in the books of his New York firm..
In January of this year, Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg referred the case to a grand jury of citizens chosen by lot, who are responsible for investigating in complete confidentiality to determine whether there is enough evidence to formally charge the suspect.
After hearing several witnesses, a grand jury was called to testify in mid-March. Donald Trumpa sign that he was about to complete his work.
possible scenarios
Donald Trump he must agree to appear in court in New York, probably early next week. “You will be photographed, fingerprinted, and you will appear before a judge who will ask you how you are going to perform – you will definitely answer “not guilty,” explains Carl Tobias, professor of law at the University of Richmond, Virginia. .
If this does not happen, the normal course of justice provides for three scenarios:
1 – That the charges are dropped, which happens quite often and can happen with the arrival of a new prosecutor. However, in the case of Trump, this is unlikely to happen, given his influence.
2 – The accused must come to an agreement with the prosecution and agree to plead guilty in order to avoid trial and thus receive a lighter sentence. This is even less likely because Trump he furiously repeats that he did nothing wrong.
3 – Let it go to court. However, you must first go through several procedures and have several preliminary hearings. Once again, Trump’s lawyers are likely to use every possible strategy to delay the deadline.
IN USA, a person charged or even convicted in a criminal case can run for any position and be elected. The Constitution establishes only one exception for working as an official: participation in an “insurrection” or “rebellion” against the country.
Trumpwho announced his 2024 presidential candidacy in November is also the subject of a federal justice investigation for his role in the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, but no charges have been filed against him at this stage. .
They arrange delivery
Former US President Donald Trump is likely to face trial on Tuesday, his lawyer told AFP on Thursday. “We expect the arraignment to take place on Tuesday,” Susan Necheles said in an email, without elaborating.
For his part, Donald Trump He assured that he could not have a fair trial in New York, hours after he was accused of irregular pay for an adult film actress. Stormy Daniels. .
In his social network “Pravda” Trumpwho previously filed charges against the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden, criticized the impartiality of the New York court that should try him.
