Trump’s Manhattan Trial Is About a Lot More Than Hush Money

In April 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced that his office had charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The case is historic. It is the first ever prosecution of an American president (current or former), and one of the most important trials of alleged election wrongdoing in American history. My book, Trying Trump: A Guide to His First Election Interference Criminal Trial, is a complete guide to understanding what will happen and why it matters.As DA Bragg has explained, the Manhattan case charges Trump with “conspiring to corrupt a presidential election and then lying in New York business records to cover it up.” The trial will center on Trump’s alleged efforts to conceal a hush money payment made to Stephanie Clifford,...

Will Trump Be Indicted Into Office?

‘The people call Donald J. Trump.” So began Monday’s episode of the Democratic Party’s favorite legal drama, as Mr. Trump took the witness stand in Manhattan court. The judge in this civil case has already ruled that Mr. Trump’s business empire gave inflated asset numbers to lenders, including by almost tripling the square footage of his Trump Tower residence.“They were not really documents that the banks paid much attention to,” Mr. Trump told the court, according to news accounts.

He speculated that perhaps the bigger figure didn’t exclude elevator shafts and other nonusable space, or maybe it included the ...

Judge Tries to Stop Trump From Hiding His Money

The judge who doomed Donald Trump’s family business last week took an aggressive and preemptive step on Wednesday to ensure the former president can't secretly shift assets to salvage his real estate empire.In an order that was posted on the fourth day of the former president’s bank fraud trial, Justice Arthur F. Engoron commanded that the Trumps identify any corporations they have—and come clean about any plans to move around money in an attempt to hide or keep their wealth.It's a powerful maneuver meant to counter the sort of underhanded moves Trump has displayed so far during the three-year investigation.Trump, sons Don Jr. and Eric, and two other top executives were ordered to tell the court about “any other entity is controlled or beneficially owned” by them, “any creation of a new e...

Trump Signed My Girl’s Hand, Then the Left Attacked Me – RedState

It may become the most famous palm reading in Louisiana history after Amelia Grace Thompson asked her mother what President Donald J. Trump wrote on her right hand. Trump was on his way to a Metairie, Lousiana, fundraiser when he met with supporters Tuesday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and signed the girl’s palm as she perched on her father’s shoulders. “Trump was incredibly nice,” said Amelia Grace’s mother, Hillary Thompson, in an exclusive RedState interview. She said it was not a rally or event, except for a chance for people to see him after he came down off his private Boeing 757 Trump Force One. “We go down there, and Trump ends up walking around to where we are, and we get to meet him,” she said. “He writes on her hand: ‘Hi!’ with an exclamation poin...
