Former president Donald Trump was charged Tuesday with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for his alleged role in hush-money payments that were made during his 2016 presidential campaign to cover up damaging stories that threatened to emerge.
Trump’s attorneys said the case appeared baldly political and that he intended to fight the charges all the way. The payoffs, which involved the efforts of the National Enquirer and Trump’s then-personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, amounted to a “scheme to identify, purchase, and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects,” prosecutors said.
According to court documents, the scheme dated back to a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower not long after Trump had declared his candidacy for president, in which he and Cohen asked David Pecker, the CEO of the Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., for help in identifying and making damaging stories about Trump go away.
Trump was never charged in the federal probe but was listed in court documents as “co-conspirator number one.”
What about the rest of the politicians, republican and democrat, that have skeletons in their closet? Just saying.
Bill Clinton did the same…he’s next
Hallelujah!!!!
Not a single American flag in the anti-Trump crowd. They tried to drown out free speech but RSBNetwork was there to record all the facts. Fascist democrats will lose because the enemies of America always lose.
