On Monday, April 15, a historic trial began in Manhattan, New York. That of Donald Trump, the first former American president to have to answer for his actions under criminal law. The presidential candidate denounces “an attack on America”.
The images are unpublished. US presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared in criminal court on Monday April 15. With a closed face and a black look, the former president did not mask his anger when he arrived at the Manhattan courthouse (New York, United States). “This is an unprecedented political persecution (…). It is an attack on America”declared the businessman to the press.
The tycoon can count on his support
The Republican candidate is accused of having bought the silence of a former porn star, Stormy Daniels, with whom he allegedly had an affair. He then allegedly passed off the payment as legal fees and falsified accounting documents. In court Monday morning, there were on one side, the anti-Trump, and on the other, his supporters who came to show him unwavering support. “Whatever happens, I will vote for Trump. They can arrest him, he can even kill people, I will vote for him”, assured a local resident. For experts, this moment, unprecedented in American history, is far from being entirely unfavorable to Donald Trump.
