The prosecutor described the charges filed against Trump in the case of payments to a former porn star, which, combined, could face more than 100 years in prison.
The next hearing in the case of former US President Donald Trump is expected on December 4. On Tuesday, April 4, he was indicted on 34 counts, according to CNN.
Former President Donald Trump’s next face-to-face hearing is now scheduled for December 4 in New York.
Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg released a statement detailing charges against Trump in the case of payments to a former porn actress.
So, Trump is accused of falsifying business records in New York to “hide harmful information and illegal activities from American voters before and after the 2016 election.”
Among other things, according to the indictment, Trump and those associated with him used a popular show business scheme to buy the rights to potentially damaging information so that it would not be published in order to “enhance his chances of getting elected.”
“Trump then worked hard to cover up these activities, making dozens of false entries in business records to cover up criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws. ,” added the Manhattan district attorney.
Trump is charged with every fact of illegal payment – that is, with those payments when the payment to someone is made in several tranches, each of them is recorded as a separate charge.
Reuters calculated that, combined, Trump’s charges carry a maximum penalty of more than 100 years in prison under New York law. However, the actual prison term, if Trump is found guilty in court, could be less than what is available.
Recall that Trump was briefly arrested on Tuesday, however, he did not agree to any of the charges, after which he was released from custody and left the courtroom.
In January 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that US President Michael Cohen’s lawyer had paid adult film star Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, $130,000 to keep quiet about an affair with a billionaire that happened in 2006. Trump himself assured that he had no personal relationship with Daniels.
