The Manhattan District Attorney’s case against Donald Trump centers around allegations the former president orchestrated illegal “catch and kill” payments in a scheme to suppress negative stories about him during the 2016 election that continued while he was in office, according to the indictment against him unsealed Thursday.
Trump, 76, is facing a total of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, which each carry a maximum sentence of four years behind bars. Taken together, the ex-president faces a whopping 136 years behind bars, but if convicted at trial and actually sentenced to jail, the time would likely be far less.
Prosecutors are hinging their case on three instances of Trump allegedly employing “catch and kill” tactics, where he, his then-lawyer Michael Cohen and Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg conspired to cover up potential sex scandals from coming to light.
The illegal activity allegedly started in 2015 when the CEO of American Media Inc. (AMI) at the time, David Pecker, agreed to act as the “eyes and ears” for Trump’s presidential campaign and would alert Cohen before a negative story was published, according to the statement of facts filed by prosecutors.
A few months later, around December 2015, AMI paid a former Trump Tower doorman $30,000 to prevent him from going public with allegations that the real estate mogul had fathered a child out of wedlock, the court document states.

Lock her up! I’ve heard from anonymous sources that she needs to be indicted, jailed and beaten with an ugly stick.
Flowers?
There is still over 400,000 sealed indictments in the federal system.
One day they may just round up everyone here on FR. That’s not a stretch. It’s about punishing those which they decide they want to destroy.
Even more reason to support this good man.
Like he says....they’re really after US, he’s just in their way.
Our last stand.
Trump in reality they are after you not me!
Except their aren't any pubs that have the nuts to do that.
Sure would like to see similar items about Hunter & Joe

I didn’t say Republicans. I meant whoever ends up as the surviving power will destroy the competition. Probably not the ‘pubs’ as you suggest.
I just hope, when they drag me to the camps, that they don’t serve tuna casserole. I don’t think I could endure that.
If the “catch & kill” scheme continued after he was President then obviously it wasn’t done just to influence the election. Therefore I believe it cannot be an FEC violation. To be a violation it must be to influence the election, nothing else. It cannot be to protect your personal reputation, family or business, it must be politically motivated only.
What a biased writeup from Rupert Moloch’s presstitutes!
Today’s indictment doesn’t have a single word about fathering a child out of wedlock.
The illegal activity allegedly started in 2015
Wrong word order. Should be “The allegedly illegal activity....”
Oh, my goodness, gosh!…. I shall flog myself for this horrible injustice I have committed upon society!!!
Fare thee well.. or is it - Fare well, thee?…
You did not write the article, but the author assumes that the payment was illegal, and only the dates are in doubt. I am saying that the whole accusation is bogus.
