    Default Grand Jury Votes to Indict Donald Trump

    A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to five people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

    An indictment will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now.

    Mr. Trump will be the first former president to face criminal charges. The precise charges are not yet known, but the case is focused on a hush-money payment to a porn star during his 2016 campaign.

    Default Trump indicted by N.Y. grand jury

    A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former president Donald Trump, multiple people familiar the matter said on Thursday, making him the first person in U.S. history to serve as commander in chief and then be charged with a crime.

    The grand jury had been hearing evidence about hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, allegedly to keep her from saying she’d had a sexual encounter with Trump years earlier.

    Well, except now the DA wants to include the $150,000 Hush Money payment to Karen McDougal, as well, in the case against Trump!

    This will probably take another 30 days to investigate it properly and get it added to the docket!

    This will strengthen the DA's case, because it shows a pattern of Illegal Campaign Donations, when it goes to trial!

    REMEMBER! If Trump had of only reported the Hush Money payments as Campaign Donations to begin with, he would not be in this trouble right now!

    When will Trump ever learn that cheating in elections can seriously backfire on you? And don't try to tell me that Donald Trump and Michael Cohen didn't know that John Edwards was busted for the very same thing.

    This man just continues to shoot himself in the ass!

    Donald Trump supporters should be mad about this- MAD AT DONALD TRUMP, because this is no one's fault but Donald Trump!

    Trump is really scum. He had a sleazy career as a businessman, and worse as a politician.

    No one is above the law.

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    Trump has been a criminal his whole life. His father was a criminal. And his father was a criminal.

    The three lead prosecutors on the Trump investigation walked into the building where the grand jury was sitting minutes before the panel was scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. One carried a copy of the penal law — with sticky notes visible — that would have been needed to read the criminal statutes to the grand jurors before they voted. About three hours later, the prosecutors walked into the court clerk’s office through a back door to begin the process of filing the indictment.

    'Historic' is the TV word-of-the-day. There is, however, the suggestion that the Mango Moron might somehow benefit from this.

    No former US President has ever been criminally indicted. Trump is the first.

    Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, was the lead prosecutor in Trump’s first impeachment.

    In a statement today, Schiff said: “The indictment of a former president is unprecedented. But so too is the unlawful conduct in which Trump has been engaged. A nation of laws must hold the rich and powerful accountable, even when they hold high office. Especially when they do. To do otherwise is not democracy.”
