Trump Grand Jury Digs Into Hush Money Paid to Second Woman
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/30/2023 | By Joe Palazzolo and Corinne Ramey

Manhattan prosecutors investigating Donald Trump’s role in paying hush money to a porn star also have been examining a $150,000 payment to a former Playboy model who alleged that she had an affair with the former president, according to people familiar with the matter, raising the prospect that Mr. Trump could face charges connected to the silencing of both women.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has been presenting a grand jury with evidence of Mr. Trump’s involvement in a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels since January. In those proceedings, the people said, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors also have questioned grand-jury witnesses extensively about an earlier deal involving Karen McDougal, Playboy Magazine’s Playmate of the Year in 1998, who has said she began a 10-month relationship with Mr. Trump in 2006.

Could this be why it was reported that the grand jury would be back in a month?

They decided to take a break after making a total mockery of the country and the rule of law.

Kevin McCarthy

Alvin Bragg Has Irreparably Damaged Our Country In An Attempt To Interfere In Our Presidential Election

“Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election.

As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump.

The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account.”

Still not clear why an NDA agreement about a consensual affair is a crime. Is the DA jealous?

Indictment is sealed until PDJT appears in court for arraignment.

He and his legal team are free to speak openly about the charges (if the charges are known to them) but the DA cannot.

Every skank in the country seems to be crawling out from under a rock in hopes of getting the bounty for being the douche bag that finally brought down Trump.

$130,000 to $150,000.

Inflation is everywhere.

Don’t care.

How many women did Bill and Hillary pay off? Or bully into silence? Democrat brown shirts don’t care. And their corrupt ‘judges’ will do what it takes to give favors to their side. We’ve seen this movie before...

Is this what liberals call ‘democracy’?

“Inflation is everywhere.”

I think that is silicone.

molesting kids is perfectly acceptable, but hooking up with an (adult) bimbo or two is the crime of the century

Newsmax just said leaks that Trump charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. That’s class E felony in NY. Ridiculous.

“ Banana Republic”

It was already a heavily fascist Banana Republic. What Bragg (and his multitude of very powerful totalitarian backers) has done is take that heavily fascist Banana Republic and make it nothing but a big, steaming pile of 💩

Justice was never done. They got away with it all.

Remember trying to humiliate the victims “drag $100 bill through a trailer park” and jilted guys who could get revenge came out in the media against Bill’s victims.

Can anybody say “Statute of Limitations”? Unless he murdered these two women, there’s no case, even if Bragg claims fraud.

Where the hell is the fat eating cake bitch McDaniels statement and the rest of our conservative base in DC? I don’t give a shit if they don’t like Trump they need to come forward and say something. Hats off to McCarthy and a handful that already have tweeted out their disgust and their anger other than that I swear if I don’t hear from them tonight, not 24 hours later or 48 hours later, that effing party is done ..cooked!

The biggest issue is that a New York jury would be willing to give President Trump the death penalty for on overdue parking ticket.
