It has lastly occurred.

On Thursday, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald Trump on costs centered round funds made throughout the 2016 presidential marketing campaign to silence allegations of an extramarital affair.

This choice marks the first-ever felony case in opposition to a former United States Commander-in-Chief.

The official indictment is predicted to be introduced inside days, per The New York Occasions, though Trump isn’t ready that lengthy to react to the event.

“That is Political Persecution and Election Interference on the highest degree in historical past,” Trump says in a brand new assertion.

“From the time I got here down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even earlier than I used to be sworn in as your President of america, the Radical Left Democrats — the enemy of the hard-working women and men of this Nation — have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Nice Once more motion.”

Information of Trump’s alleged affair with a lady named Stormy Daniels surfaced in 2018 after the Wall Road Journal reported that Trump organized a $130,000 fee to his mistress a month earlier than the 2016 election.

This supposed hush cash was meant to maintain Daniels quiet about an alleged sexual encounter they’d had years earlier.

The factor is, Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has mentioned he paid Daniels out of his personal checking account and was by no means reimbursed; this could make it an unlawful marketing campaign contribution and an instance of fraud.

To be clear, nevertheless, particular costs in opposition to Trump haven’t but been introduced.

In his rambling assertion in response to the information, Trump cited earlier cases of when he’s so clearly been wrongly focused:

“You bear in mind it identical to I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the unlawful and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.”

Daniels and Cohen each met with prosecutors earlier this month because the Manhattan District Lawyer constructed his case in opposition to Trump.

Trump, in fact, has already introduced plans to run for the White Home once more in 2024.

“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen of their obsession with making an attempt to ‘Get Trump,’ however now they’ve completed the unthinkable — indicting a very harmless particular person in an act of blatant Election Interference,” Trump continued this night, hoping to make use of this indictment as a solution to energize his base.

“By no means earlier than in our Nation’s historical past has this been completed.”

With practically each Republican Senator in his nook, Trump concluded as follows:

The Democrats have cheated numerous instances over the a long time, together with spying on my marketing campaign, however weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who simply so occurs to be a President of america and by far the main Republican candidate for President, has by no means occurred earlier than.

Ever.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a shame.

Reasonably than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking up New York Metropolis, he’s doing Joe Biden’s soiled work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he must be targeted on. That is how Bragg spends his time!

I imagine this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden.

The American folks understand precisely what the Radical Left Democrats are doing right here.

Everybody can see it.

So our Motion, and our Occasion — united and robust — will first defeat Alvin Bragg, after which we are going to defeat Joe Biden, and we’re going to throw each final certainly one of these Crooked Democrats out of workplace so we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
