Ahead of his appearance in the court, Donald Trump took to his social media platform and added “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”.
It’s the first time in US history that a current or former president has been criminally charged. The indictment was filed under seal and the charges are not yet public.
According to reports, Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election.
