The former tenant of the White House, who dreams of winning it in 2024, is officially charged by the Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, an associate justice of the State of New York, for a case of payment and reimbursement, just before the November 2016 presidential election, $130,000 to pornographic actress and director Stormy Daniels. “We expect the reading of the charge to take place on Tuesday“, his lawyer Susan Necheles said in an email to AFP.
A spokesman for the local prosecutor’s office had previously indicated that they had arranged with the defense of Melania Trump’s husband “handing it over to the Manhattan district attorney for a Supreme Court impeachment hearing“, a court, according to a statement issued after a grand jury — a citizen’s court with investigative powers that works in concert with prosecutors — voted in favor of that indictment. That act and the lawsuits remain “sealed” for now.
