With a message meant to dramatize and celebrate the moment: “Barricades are being erected around the Manhattan Criminal Court as our nation awaits an announcement as to whether President Donald Trump will be indicted despite committing NO VIOLATION.” punishable.
The 45th Republican President (2017-2021) gives his constituents an appointment “5. November 2024 when we the people return to the White House and make America great again.”.
He now faces charges of paying $130,000 (just over $150,000 currently) shortly before his November 2016 presidential election victory to porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he was allegedly having an affair.
Outside the offices of New York City Attorney for the District of Manhattan Alvin Bragg, reporters speculate as to when the Democratic magistrate and a grand jury — a panel of citizens with sweeping investigative powers and tasked with approving an indictment — will decide a prosecution.

Wednesday ? Or next week?
Trump had hit hard Saturday morning by saying on his network Truth Social he was formally and symbolically charged and charged “stopped” this Tuesday.
American media are now talking about the date Wednesday or even next week. And Mr. Bragg, whose service has been investigating for several years, is silent. For an American president who is in office or has left the White House, such an indictment would be historic and unprecedented.
The billionaire denounced you “Witch Hunt” led by the Democrats, but his calls for demonstrations failed. Except for around 30 young Trumpists who gathered outside the courthouse on a cold Monday night and a handful of others who held signs in front of Trump Tower on 5th Avenue.
However, fearing clashes in a city with a violent history, an NYPD spokesman warned in an email “The presence of uniformed police officers would increase in the five districts of the megalopolis”, even if there was “Currently no credible threat” In NYC.
Call for a nationwide strike
In the absence of large-scale demonstrations on the streets, the Trumpists are drumming up advertising on social networks.
In an attempt to block their hero’s legal hearing, the group The Donald has been trying to trigger one since Monday “national strike” even one “Civil War 2.0”.
The case of porn actress Stormy Daniel is legally complex. The New York judiciary is trying to determine whether Trump is guilty of misrepresentation, a felony, or a violation of campaign finance laws, a felony, by charging this woman, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, 130,000 in the weeks leading up to the crime Wahl paid in US dollars in November 2016.
What sense? According to the public prosecutor’s office, this is intended to cover up an alleged extramarital relationship between the billionaire and ten years ago.
