It is not even remotely normal to have this high profile of an indictment – the highest in history, actually – and not have the prosecutor not only realizing all the details, but out giving press conferences and informing the public.
Instead, we are getting leaks that we can’t even confirm.
RT:
The indictment against former US President Donald Trump over his alleged role in paying hush money to a porn actress includes at least one criminal charge, Associated Press reported on Friday, citing two “people familiar with the matter.”
According to the agency’s sources, Trump – the first current or former US president to be indicted – is facing several charges of falsifying business records, including a felony offense. However, they declined to reveal the exact contents of the indictment, which so far remain sealed.
Not even the anonymous sources will give any details!
What even is this???
Earlier, CNN reported that Trump was facing more than 30 charges in the indictment, which will be formally unsealed once he is arraigned. The procedure is expected to take place in the Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday.
Is it thirty charges of paying off a hooker the wrong way???
I guess!
But no one knows!
It’s a big mystery!
According to AP sources, the former president is expected to travel to New York on Monday and stay at Trump Tower overnight before he appears in court. After the planned arraignment, he will be fingerprinted and photographed. It is unclear whether Trump, who as a former president is protected by the US Secret Service, will be handcuffed.
They would do that – like he’s going to attack the cops.
But they probably won’t because it would be such great optics for Trump.
Trump was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday over an alleged scheme to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress who claimed she had an affair with the ex-president, via his then-lawyer Michael Cohen in 2016. The scheme was meant to stop Daniels from going public about the sexual encounter, which Trump denies ever took place.
The alleged hush money payment, which is not illegal in itself, was later reimbursed by Trump to Cohen and recorded as legal expenses, according to the prosecution. This potentially opens the ex-president to further allegations of falsifying business records, which could amount to a crime in New York.
What they’re literally saying – literally – is that the “hush money” was a campaign expense, so he should have reported it as a campaign expense.
At least, that’s what we think they’re literally saying, because that’s what they were saying before the indictment.
I guess we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to know for sure!
