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.
You’re not that stupid, are you?
It seems excessive to me as well. IMHO, if they had really strong evidence, they wouldn’t need 30+ counts.
You Go Ron.
The 6 controlling US Counties are not going to let ANY GOPee candidate win in 2024 either.
Maybe you should go peddle your nonsense in the DUmp.
We need Troll Control.
Keep them under the bridge...
Way back when I was desert racing, Coyote packs would creep up near the huge camps at night and set up an ambush. They would send in a skinny fast coyote to draw out a big badass dog someone brought and lead him into an ambush away from camp, happened a lot
>> [goron] just outed yourself.
all day long evidently... lol
this is not a matter of Trump vs Biden anymore.
like Tucker (I think it was) said tonight, Trump is the symbol of a movement now, Us vs THEM
THEM aren't after just Trump, they are after every one of US who supports MAGA
.
Sadly no since those cases stand no chance of succeeding in court either
Well Ray Epps can’t be everywhere
They(CNN) needs this, they need to push Trump in jail. They’ll get their number out of the toilet because nothing else if going well.
Biden is babbling worse than ever, their foundation is finally being attacked as to who they are, liars and cheats and crooks and demons...CNN needs to project all that on Trump and the GOP.
This is a battle of principalities and powers in high places.
Isn’t it time you stop shilling for another candidate?
They can defeat DeSantis as easily as they “defeated” Trump in 2020.
Or maybe it’s Jeb you think can win?
This is called lawfare, folks and it is the democrat’s favorite weapon in the current, on-going CWII.
Trump already defeated Biden. Trump won in a landslide. The election was stolen from him by very obvious fraud.
The deep state and its lickspittles - including ‘sadly’ you - are after Trump because he is effective.
F***ing NeverTrump retard.
You’d burn down our entire country to get one man.
Beat it, cuck.
I have had criticisms of Trump's tactics and personnel decisions but this indictment goes way above my minor disagreements. This was done to send a message of intimidation to all conservatives.
Sadly for FR - there are trolls like you who think kneeling to them is the solution...
