TO JAIL YOU GO: Donald Trump Has Officially Been Indicted on That Hush Money Case

Trump might not be in jail today, but that’s why we love tomorrow.

Trump planned on running for office in 2024, but God willing, he’ll only be running from his cell mates. Y’all former President (because I still refuse to accept that he ever had that title) Donald Trump has been indicted on criminal charges in New York on Thursday for his role in organizing hush money payments made to an adult film star during his 2016 campaign, according to CNN.

The history-making indictment marks the first time a president has been charged in a criminal matter and comes as several law enforcement entities are investigating Trump’s conduct in numerous probes. Though, the exact charges laid out in the indictment remain unclear as they have not yet been released to the public.

The indictment, which remains under seal, follows an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that centered on a $130,000 payment fixer Michael Cohen made to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the election.

Trump’s company labeled Cohen’s reimbursement of the payment as a legal expense and did not disclose them in campaign expense reports. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 and served time for his role in the matter on charges related to campaign finance violations and tax fraud. He claimed that Trump directed him to make the payment and that Trump reimbursed him in monthly installments that included a bonus.

The payment was made as part of a nondisclosure agreement as Daniels was prepared to go public with claims she has a sexual relationship with Trump – an affair he denies. Trump has repeatedly dismissed the investigation as a “witch hunt” and previously called on supporters to protest his arrest.

Michael Cohen also eleased a statement after the grand jury voted to indict Trump Thursday:

“For the first time in our Country’s history, a President (current or former) of the United States has been indicted. I take no pride in issuing this statement and wish to also remind everyone of the presumption of innocence; as provided by the due process clause. However, I do take solace in validating the adage that no one is above the law; not even a former President. Today’s indictment is not the end of this chapter; but rather, just the beginning. Now that the charges have been filed, it is better for the case to let the indictment speak for itself. The two things I wish to say at this time is that accountability matters and I stand by my testimony and the evidence I have provided to DANY (District Attorney of New York).”

Well, things are about to get truly interesting. We’ll keep you posted as this plays out. What are your thoughts?
