Donald Trump accused of falsifying records to conceal crimes regarding Stormy Daniels hush money

Nope. The pre-existing condition clause was enacted in 2010 under the Afordable Care Act (that you’re calling Obamacare) and took effect in 2014, 2 years before Trump took office.

Ex military members are covered under Veteran Affairs, set up by the government way before either Obama or Trump.

Those with pre-existing conditions were being fined for not having insurance under Obamacare even though they couldn’t afford it. Removing the fines and the pre-existing health care clauses meant the poorest could now afford basic healthcare.

Another Obamacare disaster sorted under Trump by getting rid of the punitive health tax for not being able to afford insurance, which is what it was.

You have the right to believe whatever you’d like but I also have that same right.

There is only one truth

And perceptions of it :roll_eyes:

It was a put up job to smear Trump Chelsea…Same as the fraudulent postal voting that the democrats had to use to win so many votes last time round. They were even caught out with the same person voting multiple times.

So you say. I , personally don’t believe it.
Trump thought he was above the law and probably still does

I wonder if the secret service will protect him in jail :sweat_smile::innocent:

7 posts were split to a new topic: Capitol Hill Riots / Trump

In most states these charges wouldn’t even be an offence. This is another show trial just like all the others. Voters can see right through this and in 2024 when Trump is made president again the Bidens, the FBI, CIA and the rest of the swamp are going to jail.

1. What are the actual charges against Trump?
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating a $130,000 (£105,000) payment made by Mr Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels, which was made to keep her quiet about an alleged affair.

2. Will one of the charges against Trump be a felony?
In New York, fraud can be a felony if the lie was made with the intent to conceal or commit another crime. Sources close to the case have told US media that they believe at least one of the charges against Mr Trump could be a felony.

3. Could there be an additional charge relating to another case?
Prosecutors have asked at least one witness questions about a $150,000 payment made to Karen McDougal, a former Playboy magazine Playmate of the Year. Ms McDougal has claimed she had a relationship with Mr Trump in 2006.

4. How strong is the case against Mr Trump?
The indictment is expected to set out what prosecutors believe Mr Trump has done, with some information as to how and when, and from that we will get a sense of the case they have built against him.

More detail in the article.

Can’t wait for this to fail.

This article says live updates so I’m hoping they’ll update this as the day goes on.

This one says that he won’t have a mugshot or be handcuffed.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of Donald Trump’s staunchest allies, is leading a rally outside the courthouse, swarmed by press.

Marjorie Taylor Greene first made her mark on America politics as a citizen-provocateur, won an election to Congress and now has become one of the most prominent voices defending Donald Trump and advocating for his political agenda.

Her appearance as the headliner for the pro-Trump rally near the Manhattan courthouse where the former president will be arraigned only cements that status.

Greene has been a lightning rod for controversy throughout her political rise, which began when she quit her job as an exercise instructor around the time of Trump’s 2016 presidential bid. She has trafficked in conspiracy theories tied to the group Q-Anon, including allegations that Democrats were running a paedophilia ring out of a Washington, DC, pizza parlour and that California forest fires were started by satellite lasers controlled by a Jewish cabal.

In 2019, while working with a conservative news outlet, she chased Democratic members of Congress on Capitol Hill, accusing them of dereliction of duty. After her election to the House in 2020, she was stripped of her seat on congressional committees by the Democratic majority because of her sympathetic response to death threats against Democratic officeholders on social media.

Her seats were restored when Republicans took over the chamber in 2022, and she has become a close ally of Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.

Spawn of the Devil … :096:

That article seems to be an opinion piece from the UK Telegraph:

That’s not even the half of it. She’s done way more hair raising things than that

I haven’t read the article but you can tell by the title someone outside the US wrote it. That’s not generally how people in the US would phrase that.

Donald Trump has just left Trump Tower and is heading to the court building in Lower Manhattan where he’ll be formally arrested.

The journey itself is about a 30-minute drive south through Manhattan, but that time could be much less if there’s a full police escort.
