The Prosecution of Donald Trump

<p>The Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump today, in connection with his payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, in a truly historic move against a former American president who is again seeking reelection. Trump is expected to be booked and arraigned sometime next week in downtown Manhattan, although the exact timing and charges remain unknown right now, because the indictment remains sealed.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s hard to overstate the gravity of this development, which apparently came as something of a surprise to Trump&rsquo;s team at Mar-a-Lago, despite nearly constant swirling rumors that charges would be brought.</p> <p>For his part, Trump already released a lengthy&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-indictment-hush-money-stormy-daniels/index.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">grievance-soaked statement</a>&nbsp;decrying what he called &ldquo;Political Persecution and Election Interference,&rdquo; offering a false narrative of his own victimhood, and attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a tool of &ldquo;Radical Left Democrats.&rdquo;</p> <p>This is likely only to be the first shot fired in Trump&rsquo;s verbal offensive, with far more to come as he embarks on the rhetorical war path.</p> <p><a href="https://alexziperovich.com/the-prosecution-of-donald-trump-6bc8469f286c">Read More</a></p>
