Former US President Donald Trump is accused of falsifying documents and tax evasion.
What has been done, and what is known?
- The prosecutor said Trump and his accomplices hatched a scheme in 2015 to hide evidence that might come to light before the election.
- The scheme allegedly involved three people bribing two women who had sex with Trump and a former doorman who knew about Trump’s illegitimate son to remain silent.
- Trump has been officially arrested.
- During the charge presentation (2 hours), he became the 1st former president of the USA, with the status of an arrestee.
- Contrary to the procedure, he was not handcuffed or photographed; only fingerprints were taken.
- The detention was finally lifted, and Trump left the court.
- Trump stated that his actions had no crime and that the prosecutor was a criminal. He said, “The country is going to the writer’s lap.”
- Trump has never been so sure that the Republicans will win the presidential elections again, and the impeachment case has benefited him greatly.
- Trump’s ex-advisor John Bolton also remembered the words of Lavrenti Beria, one of the executioner-leaders of the USSR: “Be a man, and you will find a job.”
- The White House reported that the situation surrounding Trump is not the focus of Biden’s attention today.
- And Fox News calculated that Trump theoretically faces 136 years in prison.
