A grand jury in New York has indicted former President Donald Trump, according to emerging reports.
“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 four 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,” the New York Times reported on Thursday evening.
“The felony indictment, filed under seal by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, 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.”
Trump, reacting to the news, bashed the decision as “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.”
“From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement,” Trump said in a statement responding to the news he has been indicted. “You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this. The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference. Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done...

The confederates have fired on Ft. Sumter, again.
The DA just re-elected Trump.
So while case proceeds he can’t run. Nightmare. So now we have DeSantis or Lake? Anyone else?
While filed under seal? Shouldn’t this be total public and transparent? Secret charges? Is there some surprise here?
They’re not gonna be able to cheat hard enough in 2024 to beat him.
Time for another 100 posts bashing DeSantis.
i guess the thread first posted about this, every other comment on the comments page, pushing 700 times, went un noticed by you...
Fla. should indict Fat Al and extradite him for whatever crimes they can think up.
Where did you get that idea?
Another ham sammich bites the dust.
Then Congress can impeach him for failing to list Bragg's indictment as a campaign contribution.
Based on what? Trump has been impeached and can and is running. As far as I am aware and have read, he can be convicted, even be locked up in jail and can still run for and win the presidency.
Ok good, that’s not what I’m hearing but pray you’re right. Are you dead sure FRiend?
A friend told me...I’m very happy to be wrong. As I asked the other FReeper...are you dead sure?
Cheney, KZinger, Clyburn, Swillwell and Adam Schitt are going to be embarrassed that Chubby Cheeks Alvin the Chumpmonk, a Manhattan pimp, was able to do something they couldn’t do. Bring down the President of the United States. Chubby Cheeks Alvin for Prez 2024! ROTFL.
Every President will be indicted for the next 50 years.
I do hold out hope that Mitt Romney experiences a brain aneurysm while jerking off over the news.
Bragg has flung the boomerang, it’s airborne and will now most certainly come back around and destroy Bragg. The Commies never give up and they will never learn the ‘Trump boomerang lesson.’ Watch as this mother of all boomerang attempts comes back around and hits Bragg between his eyes.
