Trump Reacts To Manhattan Grand Jury Indictment

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former President Donald Trump reacted angrily on Thursday to news that he had been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on unknown charges linked to a hush money payment made to an adult film actor. SO SAD!” Trump also released a more even-keeled statement minutes prior, calling the development “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.” “The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable — indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference,” his statement read. So our Movement, and our Party - united and strong - will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” The grand jury voted Thursday to indict the former president in an investigation relating to his role in the 2016 scheme to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 for her silence about an alleged affair she had with Trump. Trump also denied the affair with Daniels, although he appeared to acknowledge it occurred in a February post to Truth Social, where he wrote: “With respect to the ‘Stormy’ nonsense, it is VERY OLD & happened a long time ago, long past the very publicly known & accepted deadline of the Statute of Limitations.”
