Donald Trump has been on criminal trial since Monday, April 15, in the case of bribes paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels. He is suspected of having wanted to buy his silence.
“An attack on America”. Donald Trump, on trial from this Monday, April 15 during an unprecedented criminal trial for a former American president, spoke before entering the courtroom. The businessman claims to be the victim of “political persecution, unprecedented persecution”. “No one has ever seen anything like this,” he told a crowd of journalists and supporters. “All the jurists say that this case is absurd. It should never have been brought. There is no case,” said the Republican candidate.
Donald Trump is facing court over payments allegedly made to buy the silence of former porn star Stormy Daniels. Payments that came after the American billionaire’s victory in the presidential elections in 2016. “It’s an attack on America and that’s why I’m very proud to be here. It’s an attack on our country. C “It’s a country that is failing,” said the former American president, pointing out the record of the current head of state Joe Biden. A “very involved incompetent” in this legal case, according to him. “It’s actually an attack on a political opponent, that’s all it is. So I’m very honored to be here,” he said.
Hidden payments?
Communication that extends to social networks where a video worthy of a Hollywood film was broadcast. “They want to take my freedom because I will never let them take yours, it’s very simple. They want to silence me, because I will never let them silence you,” he explains in this clip put together by its communications team.
The Republican billionaire is indicted for 34 falsifications of accounting documents from his company, the Trump Organization. Facts which would have made it possible to hide, under the cover of “legal costs”, payments of 130,000 dollars to Stormy Daniels. The former porn star had in exchange agreed to keep secret a sexual relationship with the candidate, which had occurred ten years earlier. The main person concerned has always denied this relationship. While he must face Joe Biden in November for a revenge of the previous presidential election, Donald Trump risks a prison sentence which would not prevent him from carrying out his campaign to reconquer the White House.
