Donald Trump has attacked the New York probe and called his accusers liars. He has also said he wouldn’t quit the 2024 presidential race if indicted.
Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer and a key witness in the grand jury investigation, says Trump's indictment is only the beginning of a new chapter in the former president's legal saga.
"Now that the charges have been filed, it is better for the case to let the indictment speak for itself," Cohen said in a written statement."The two things I wish to say at this time is that accountability matters and I stand by my testimony and the evidence I have provided." Cohen began by noting that Trump is the first president in history to be indicted."I take no pride in issuing this statement," he said,"and wish to also remind everyone of the presumption of innocence; as provided by the due process clause."
Cohen added that"I do take solace in validating the adage that no one is above the law; not even a former President. Today’s indictment is not the end of this chapter; but rather, just the beginning."The New York criminal case is the first to charge him criminally, but he faces legal jeopardy in several jurisdictions.. The companies were fined a combined $1.6 million.
