Trump Arraigned in Court After Being Indicted by Manhattan Grand Jury

Former President Donald Trump appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon, following his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury last week. The arraignment took place before Judge Juan Merchan, the trial judge presiding over the case.

Trump was charged with 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, a charge which alleges that he falsified New York business records with the intent to defraud. Trump would go on to plead not guilty to the charges.

The Unfounded Allegations

New York State Attorney General Alvin Bragg, who is leading the prosecution against Trump, alleges that he falsified New York business records to conceal damaging information from American voters before and after the 2016 election. Bragg also claims that Trump employed a ‘catch and kill’ scheme to purchase and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects.

Bragg alleges that Trump went to great lengths to hide this conduct, causing dozens of false entries in business records to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws.

Trump’s Defense and the Trial Date

The prosecution is pushing for a trial in January 2024, during the GOP presidential primary season. However, Trump’s defense team is pushing for a delay, wanting to push the trial back as far as possible.

The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump’s Reaction

Trump has slammed the DA’s investigation and the indictment as “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.” Despite this, the judge did not impose a gag order, meaning that Trump is free to speak his mind on the matter.

Although the indictment is unprecedented, Trump remains confident in his innocence, and his legal team is preparing a robust defense. With the next hearing set for December 4th, 2023, in the same Lower Manhattan court, the case is expected to proceed as expeditiously as possible.

  1. joe biden and his son hunter are the ones that belongs in prision.period donald j trump is our greatest president we had in our country.start looking into the corrupt demorats now republicans

    1. When the government fails to provide true justice, it is the people who suffers, and it will be the corrupted officials who will be judged and reaping God’s wrath in the end.

    2. You are correct; however, even though Pres. Trump is in court, it is this corrupted government, which has already been judged, and weighed on the balances and found to be in want of righteousness, and none was found.
      God has been sending His warnings that the United States will be destroyed by China, Russia, and possibly one other nation; thus, this nation will reap the death and destruction she has sown throughout all the Earth for the last one-hundred years or more.
      On January 22, 1997, the Holy Spirit whispered in my left ear saying, “I will repay the United States double for her iniquity!”
      God is about to save the born-again Christians in the blink of an eye; however, He will not save this wicked nation and people who has slaughtered 70 million of the most innocent of all life in the womb of their mothers, nor will He save those who have rejected His gift of salvation through Christ Jesus.

  2. LISTEN UP….GOD chose PREZ TRUMP to be PRESIDENT of the U.S then and NOW. It is Written…TRUMP shall become a TRUMPET. Behold… the TRUMPET of GOD. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA. Servant of the LORD GOD. 😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉

  3. Alvin should be on his way to jail by NOW!!!! He committed a FELONY on CNN. It’s out there for the whole world to see. Remember butt head no one is above the LAW. That is unless you a Democrap.

  4. So just what does all this drama around one individual represent in the American psyche? I sense an elephant in the living room that we’re ignoring. To switch metaphors, maybe eventually we’ll find out whether or not the emperor is wearing anything, and if so, what. Presidential seal or orange jump suit, and when that’s settled, what’s next?

  5. “to conceal damaging information from American voters before and after the 2016 election”. Bragg must have been referring to Hillary’s emails or Hunter Biden’s laptop.

  6. I feel that before any charges or court dates concerning President Trump be made they NEED to go after those that ARE corrupt–Pelosi, Biden, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Waters, Romney and a whole lot more that we probably don’t know anything about

  7. What about all the news and people that hid information about Sleepy Joe, he would not be President right now if the things that he had hidden during his election, (Hunter Biden Lap Top) and money from China, maybe we should find some backed Trump DA to bring charges against Sleepy Joe when he gets out of office.

  8. The guilty will be this wicked government, and all those who find the innocent guilty, and for sure, even those who hide the truth from the people.
