Former President Donald Trump stands accused of falsifying records to conceal unlawful activities and information during the 2016 campaign. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office said that he faces 34 charges of felony as the indictment was unsealed in court.

Donald Trump had pleaded innocent in the New York City court to the string of charges that is primarily linked to the payment of hush money before the presidential elections in 2016 when he won using questionable tactics. One of the payments we made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Donald Trump becomes the first ever former president to face criminal prosecution in American history. He entered a courtroom in Manhattan before 2:30 pm ET on Tuesday to formally hear the charges against him.

The prosecutor overseeing the high-profile case said that the ‘catch and ill scheme’ include the $130,000 paid to Daniels and two other illegal payoffs.

The prosecutor told reporters that no amount of power or money would change the enduring principle that the court would uphold its solemn responsibility to ensure that all stand equal before American law.

Case Against Donald Trump Could Drag On For Years

The 79-year-old pleaded not guilty to the charges against him at the Manhattan court, as he sat in the Manhattan court flanked by his high-profile legal team. He was silent throughout his hour-long stay in the courtroom. But he posted about the events which he termed as surreal.

He was back in Florida immediately after he left the courthouse in New York. There was met by dozens of supporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort and home.

Donald Trump says the case against him is a witch hunt. Former legal experts say that the case could drag on for years. But by the time the cases conclude, they say that the former president could face an indictment in at least one or more of the cases.
