In a defiant statement, Trump said the indictment was part of a “Witch-Hunt” and represented “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.”
He suggested the move would “backfire massively on Joe Biden” and said his “Movement and our Party” will “throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”.

The Manhattan grand jury voted to indict the embattled former president in connection to alleged hush money payments made to pornography “actress” Stephanie Clifford, known as “Stormy Daniels,” during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen gave Clifford $130,000 during the campaign to keep quiet about an affair she and Trump allegedly had a decade prior. Trump has denied that the affair ever took place, and even Clifford said in 2018 that the affair had never occurred, though she later doubled back again. Though now accusing Trump of orchestrating the payoff, Cohen previously said Trump didn’t reimburse him for the payment to Clifford, according to a 2018 letter obtained by The Daily Mail.
