President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan over allegations of fraud and tax evasion.
Critics believe that this is in connection with hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels…
Trump Indicted After Manhattan DA Probe for Payments
The charges were brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office… which has been investigating Trump’s business dealings for several years.
According to the indictment, Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, concealed the payments to Daniels… by falsely labeling them as legal expenses.
The indictment also alleges that Trump and his associates engaged in a scheme to defraud the government by failing to pay taxes on the income generated from the payments…
Trump has denied any wrongdoing. Moreover, he has called the indictment a politically motivated attack by Democrats.
His lawyers have vowed to fight the charges. They accused the Manhattan DA’s office of overstepping its bounds.
The indictment is likely to have significant implications for Trump’s future political ambitions. In reality, it could make it difficult for him to run for office again.
It also comes at a time of heightened political division in the United States, with many conservatives viewing the indictment as a politically motivated attempt to discredit Trump and his supporters…
Dems Ignore Weakness of Trump’s Indictment
Many Democrats are pushing for the indictment of Trump over his role in the January 6 Capitol riots… but former House Speaker Newt Gingrich believes that their focus on this issue is misguided.
In an interview with Fox News, Gingrich argued that the Democrats are ignoring the weakness of the case against Trump… because they see it as a “life or death” issue for their party.
Gingrich pointed out that the Democrats are ignoring the fact that the impeachment process is supposed to be a legal process… and not a political one.
He argued that there is no evidence that Trump intended for the riots to happen and that the Democrats are simply trying to use the issue as a way to damage his reputation and prevent him from running for office again…
According to Gingrich, the Democrats are also ignoring the fact that many other important issues need to be addressed, such as the:
- American economy
- National security
Moreover, he argued that their focus on the indictment of Trump is a distraction from these issues… and is not in the best interest of the country.
Gingrich concluded by saying that the Democrats’ focus on the indictment of Trump is a reflection of their desperation and their fear of losing power…
He stated that they are willing to do anything to prevent Trump from running for office again… including pushing for an indictment without any evidence to support it.
In the end, Gingrich believes that the Democrats’ efforts will backfire and that they will ultimately be the ones who suffer politically as a result of their misguided focus on this issue…
