Former US President Donald Trump has been indicted on 34 charges in a Manhattan court, marking the first time in American history that a criminal case has been filed against a President. Trump has been accused of paying money to silence porn star Stormy Daniels and falsifying business records during the election campaign. He maintains his innocence and has called the charges against him baseless.
Trump Surrenders in Court, Gives Speech at Mar-a-Lago
On Tuesday, Trump surrendered in the Manhattan court and was released without bail. He then gave a speech at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, where he accused President Biden of leading America to ruin and claimed that the world was laughing at the country. Trump also criticized the judge presiding over his case, alleging bias due to her family connections to Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden-Harris campaign.
Next Hearing on December 4
The Manhattan court did not rule on Trump’s bail or arrest and the next hearing is scheduled for December 4. The charges against Trump have raised concerns about the integrity of the American political system and the rule of law. As the legal battle continues, the world will be watching closely to see how this unprecedented case unfolds.
