Former US Prez Donald Trump courts arrest after his surrender over criminal charges
Amid facing extraordinary criminal charges that threaten to derail his Republican leader’s 2024 presidential campaign,
former US president Donald Trump surrendered before the Manhattan grand jury in New York and courted arrest.
By means of this, Donald Trump emerges as the first former US president to face criminal charges. The sealed indictment intendedly charges the 76-year old with more than 30 counts of corporate fraud, the most serious of which is allegedly paying ‘hush money’ to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Former US President Donald Trump attributed “While we are living through the darkest hours of American history, I can say that at least for this moment right now, I am in great spirits.”
The hearing marks a watershed moment for the US criminal and political system, with the potential to upend the 2024 White House race in which Trump is currently the presumptive Republican nominee.
