Former President Donald Trump appears in court for his arraignment, April 4, 2023, in New York. Trump surrendered to authorities ahead of his arraignment on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign.at the Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday
The music had indeed stopped, even if potentially not for long. On Tuesday, the rule of law had thankfully imposed itself on the usual Trump circus with attack and distraction in the center ring. The man who has prided himself on always getting ahead of the story had been forced to deal with the reality that you can plead not guilty, and he did to all charges on Tuesday, but prosecutors still get to go first and frame the narrative.
In essence, they allege that Trump and other parties tried to “influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him” , “to suppress its publication and benefit the Defendant’s electoral prospects” and, crucially, then falsified business records in order to do so, and then made false statements to cover up that crime. Prosecutors alleged that payees were not limited to porn star Stormy Daniels, but included another actress and a doorman.
