Donald Trump Charged with 34 Felonies; He Intensifies Attacks on Judge, DA & Their Families



Donald Trump has been formally charged with 34 felonies in an indictment unsealed on Tuesday. After surrendering to authorities at a New York courthouse, Trump was placed under arrest and fingerprinted. He then appeared in a courtroom, where he pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to hush-money payments he paid out during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump is the first U.S. president to ever be charged with a crime. For more on the charges levied against Trump and their significance, we speak to Bobbi Sternheim, a criminal defense lawyer who has tried several high-profile federal cases in New York. Sternheim outlines what observers expect from the legal strategy in the case, and the risks of harassment facing the judge and prosecution team.

Only in that he wants to be rat king.

He's truly the black hole of human decency.

No way he wants to be seen, photographed and humiliated in a courtroom trial. I am curious what the terms will be?
I am positive that Bragg will have his ducks in a row so most of the posturing now from TFG's 'team' is to try and get the best deal they can. It would not surprise me if they hinted that they have new evidence which of course they could not release due to litigation.

Contrition? Doneventhinkaboudit.

The flood gates are now open. Thank you Mr. Bragg.
