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.
There is no other R candidate that will defeat dopey joe. This is just a fact of life. I sort of lean DeSantis presently, but even I know he can't generate the amount of support that Trump did in 2020. And no other candidate will come even close. Hell, the demoncraps won't even have to cheat in 2024 to complete crush whomever it is that you champion - Christie? Nikki? Sununu? Pence? Pffft! They will garner single digit percentages in the election. And I'm talking about the general election.
Do I think Trump can top his 2020 vote? No idea. There is something to be said for the sympathy vote in the wake of political martyrdom at the hands of a clearly corrupt prosecutor - and lady, this DA is positively rancid like dumpster juice stewing under a humid August sun.
Goron.you are a MORON and a NEVER TRUMPER.
And they know this on a sealed grand jury how?
lol...lordy. Until he is convicted dont expect his popularity to wane. And its seems like one case is weaker than the next. The man has grown stronger and more popular in recent polling. These silly legal shenanigan’s seem to propping up some sort of GOP solidarity. Its literally the boy who cried wolf. Even dems are rolling their eyes at the garbage. If witch hunts never produce results , nobody cares.
34 slices of baloney on that ham sammich.
Isn’t it time for a new candidate who can defeat Biden?
Trump may be the only one who can all the indictments hasn’t phased him he still gets the job done it’s why the democrats fear him.
Time for them to face the real fear of him they can’t buy or bribe him that’s half the battle alone.
Time for people to vote out as many democrats as possible or let things get worse.
And the will if they don’t
