Former President Donald Trump is reportedly being indicted on 34 charges, according to a CNN analyst.
The Manhattan grand jury voted Thursday to indict Trump almost two weeks after Trump publicly said he was going to face indictment.
The indictment is in connection to a yearslong investigation into hush money allegedly paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, allegedly sent $130,000 to Daniels so she would not disclose an earlier alleged affair with the president. Cohen claims Trump then reimbursed him. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office investigated whether Trump forged business records to hide the alleged payout.
There are dozens of counts, CNN reports.
“I am told by my sources that this is 34 counts of falsification of business records, which is probably a lot of charges involving each document, each thing that was submitted as a separate count in a couple of matters,” CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller said on “Outfront.”
Host Erin Burnett then asked whether Trump himself knows “all the counts? Has he seen it?”
“He apparently has not seen it yet. And he might see it at the arraignment,” Former Special Counsel at the Department of Defense Ryan Goodman said. (RELATED: ‘Communist – Level Sh*t’: Trump Family Reacts To Indictment)
“Right, so he doesn’t – he’s not sitting here knowing,” Burnett said. “So he’s hearing you. And now he’s learning from your reporting that there’s 34 counts of falsification of business documents. Do you understand that there are more or possibly more different charges, or is that as you understand the totality of it?”
“I believe that that is the grand jury’s work in this case,” Miller said. “Now, they could add additional charges later as other information comes up with a superseding indictment. But let’s go on the premise that 34 counts of anything is a pretty complete and thorough look at something.”
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York opted not to charge Trump for the case in 2019, while the Federal Election Commission dropped its investigation into the case in 2021, according to Fox News.
After that will come the Federal indictments for the classified documents.
Isn't it time for a new candidate who can defeat Biden?
.
Republicans rewarded the FBi after the Mar-a-Lago Raid.
Get used to seeing faux outrage and sternly worded letters that they know are completely meaningless.
.
They don't care about anyone else. Anyone else is on the take. That's why they have to go after Trump. He's not.
I have to winder if they used 34 counts to hope they could get one to stick.
LOL!
You just outed yourself.
After Trump - if they get away with it - they can indict ANY Republican front-runner.
Are you INSANE, you go ahead and go BACK to the GOP establishment RINOS, globalists, American sellout elitists and enjoy living in China style America GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!! The LEFT is creating this chaos NOT Trump, you really need to read about Alinsky before you make statements like shouldn’t we just roll over and DIE!!!
I have to wonder if it’s not a “Coyote Trap” to try and draw out some MAGA patriots to ambush like they did on J6.
The RICO gang have generated 34 indictments in hopes that they can overwhelm a jury and confuse them into finding him guilty on at least one.
For the last 7 years, teams, big teams, of some of the best lawyers from the Democratic/Communist Party and George Soros could buy, couldn’t find anything to nail him with and all of a sudden this affirmative action half wit, has the goods on President Trump. I’m not buying it. I call BS on these 34 counts...
Go back to the DU...
More cover up for money going down and people losing retirements and savings. Not to mention a cover up for vaccine deaths and injuries. They have to report something and President Trump is always the biggest draw.
The charges of course are ridiculous and even if they managed a conviction it would be thrown out on appeal. They just keep throwing mud in hopes that something sticks. This is Banana Republic stuff and if the Dems keep it up ultimately they will have a REAL INURRECTION on their hands.
Like who? DeSantis? He is in the pockets of his rich donors. Not saying DeSantis is dishonest. But those rich donors will not sit idly on the sidelines. They will want favors done. Only man I trust for doing best for hard working middle class is DJT.
There are many levels of higher courts to overturn unlawful conviction.
Silliness on stilts.
The upshot of this?
Ukraine is f****d. Zelensky had better have his bolt-hole, Cayman bank accounts, and helicopter to Europe ready.
Its completely Joe Biden and the DC deep-state’s project, and any conservative support for Ukraine is going to be the first thing to go in this DC civil war.
I hope the people in the USA don't take the bait and start fighting each other.
there is no discernable target for MAGA to go after. The "problem" is at the core of a system. The politicians are just the actors representing the system, removing the system would be like removing someones bad rotten heart.
At this point any physical activism of any kind (even flag waving) by the MAGA would just work to their advantage I.M.O.
Move on ...
Hmm. Good point. To me it is a red flag they don’t have a lot of evidence and hope one will stick.
I think most “extreme MAGA” types can see right thru it. They think we are dumb, but are wise to their ways.
