NEW YORK – Multiple sources are reporting Thursday that former President Trump has been indicted as part of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office's years-long investigation, possibly for hush money payments.
The indictment is historic in that it is the first time a former President has been indicted.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump for hush money payments made leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Bragg is a liberal progressive who has vowed to punish the former President.
These include the $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, and the $150,000 payment made to former Playboy model Karen McDougall According to Fox News Digital has learned.
The charges have not been made public, yet many immediately came to his defense, alleging Trump’s innocence.
Some Democrats praised the justice system, saying that the Trump indictment shows “no one is above the law” and others are calling it a “sad day” for the country.
Here is a statement from the former President:
“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats — the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country — have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.
“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.
“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.
“Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!
“I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. 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!”
Donald Trump, Jr. published his response on Twitter (NSFW):

Good. Now let the bastard be arraigned, tried, convicted (hopefully of the felony-level enhancement) and punished.
Then, God willing, may he follow a similar path regarding his activities before and during the January 6 insurrection and his obstruction of justice during the Mar-A-Lago documents debacle.
Finally, also God willing, let the MAGA morons grow functioning brains. Then maybe the country can begin to heal from the impact of this venomous toad.

Permalinkyou do know snowflakes are liberals right? Also indictments are accusations. You should save all the crying until he gets acquitted, just like when he was "impeached" lol. Who's crying now

PermalinkIndictments are accusations, lol embarrassing take. He also won’t be acquitted, this won’t get to a jury, he won’t and can’t let that happen in liberal New York. This will amount to nothing, but he will plea to something in the end.

PermalinkIt's not a take. Per websters dictionary it's the literal definition. Anything else is a take or non factual. I don't care if he's guilty I never liked him to begin with, but he's far more qualified than Joe Brandon the virtual potato.

PermalinkEverybody with a functioning brain DOES believe that. By the way, MAGA stands for Morons And Garrulous Assholes.

PermalinkEveryone with a functioning brain does believe he’s president. It’s how he won that we have questions about. By the the way, if you voted for Biden you don’t have a functioning brain. His main voter base seems to be the mentally unstable and welfare recipients imo.

PermalinkSee what I meant about a two party system?? Ya'll just sit there and argue with no progress. You'd be better off finding a brick wall and smashing your head into it repeatedly. What we need is a party that actually stands for America because neither one of the current ones give a shit.

PermalinkSo multiple parties, like in the uk? Doesn’t seem to work so well. Or maybe a one party system? Which is basically just authoritarianism since we obviously don’t agree on things. “A party that stands for America”, we have politicians saying drag queens are as American as apple pie lol we can’t even agree on that.

PermalinkObviously you're not willing to agree on anything. By the way we already live in an authoritarian country. The democracy is wool for your eyes.

PermalinkHe is absolutely without question guilty of what he’s charged with, the evidence is indisputable. That being said, I agree that if it weren’t for his politics there is zero chance this would still be an issue, and it’s a fairly meaningless indictment and will probably be a boost for him. Atlanta will be the more interesting one. Do you think that he and his supporters at all brought it on themselves? No other person or group has ever been as outspoken about locking up political rivals. Lock her up is a maga thing. This all started with him.

PermalinkI will take part of that back their is zero doubt he paid stormy daniels with campaign money. If there are truly over 30 indictments who knows on the rest. Again that being said very few people would be charged in the stormy Daniels deal.

PermalinkYou do understand they have the check, and they have the tax filling where he called it a legal expense right? If it happened is not in question, the question is should he have been charged with it.
