Donald Trump Meets New Yorkers Before Resuming Hush Money Trial
Former President Donald Trump made a surprise campaign stop in New York City before heading to his hush money trial, where he faces allegations of falsifying business records related to a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump met with New Yorkers and vowed to beat President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.
The trial, which is the first of its kind involving a past or present US president, has been filled with dramatic testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who detailed a “catch-and-kill” scheme to silence stories about Trump’s alleged affairs. The trial also saw Trump facing potential contempt charges for allegedly violating a gag order by posting about the trial on social media.
In a separate development, 11 local Republicans and Trump allies in Arizona were indicted for their involvement in a failed plot to keep Trump in office after the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team argued in front of the Supreme Court for his “presidential immunity” defense against prosecution.
The trial continues to draw national attention as Trump prepares for a potential rematch with Biden in the upcoming election. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile case.
