Donald Trump Arriving In Court

Trump appeared in court in New York City on Tuesday, before flying back to Mar-a-Lago that same night. There, he delivered a speech condemning the case against him as well as the Manhattan district attorney. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” Trump said. From there, he added: “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

The case against Trump hinges on payments to Daniels that allegedly violate federal campaign finance laws. In total, Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, has admitted to paying $130,000 in 2016 to silence Daniels’ story about an alleged affair with the former president.
