Ivanka Trump pained by Donald Trump’s indictment
Ivanka Trump has joined the ranks of those expressing outrage at the indictment of her father, Donald Trump.
Trump has become the first US president in history – current or former – to be charged with a criminal act. Although the indictment has not been made public, it will be known during the first appearance when it will be presented.
Ivanka noted in her Instagram story that she loves her father and country. “Today I ache for both”, he noted.
“I appreciate the voices in the political arena expressing support and concern,” Ivanka added.
Trump has denied all criminal charges against him, claiming he is “the most innocent man in the history of the United States.”
He also accused opponents of a “din hunt” against him, criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for persecuting him at the direction of President Biden.
The former president also alleged that Bragg was “hand-picked by George Soros”.
Why was Donald Trump indicted?
Trump is allegedly involved in hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, making him the first former president to face criminal charges.
However, the exact charges are yet to be ascertained as the indictment is currently under seal.
According to CNNThe charges against former President Trump could include more than 30 counts related to business fraud.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and insisted he is “completely innocent” of all charges. He vowed not to drop out of the 2024 presidential race despite facing criminal charges, accusing District Attorney Bragg of engaging in “political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.”
The former president also appealed to his supporters to donate money to his legal defense, a plea that has since raised more than $2 million.
The money in question was paid to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, has said he coordinated payments to Daniels and another woman, Karen McDougal, who claimed to have had sex with Trump.
The former president initially denied any knowledge of the payment to Daniels but later admitted to compensating Cohen for it.
Daniels’ attorney, Clark Brewster, emphasized that no one is above the law, and Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in 2018, stood by his testimony and evidence provided to prosecutors. stay
