Donald Trump’s hush money case
Okay, thank you very much. Appreciate it. We just had another hearing and the trial starts on Monday, which is long before a lot of people thought the judge wants this to go as fast as possible. That’s for his reasons, not for my reasons. And this is really a concerted witch hunt. Very simple. Everything you heard in there. This is a witch hunt by numerous judges, Democrat judges.
The unprecedented criminal trial is significantly a step closer to getting underway. Lawyers in Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial spent days quizzing dozens of New Yorkers to choose the panel. The jury has vowed to put their personal views aside and impartially judge whether Trump is guilty or not.
The jury includes a sales professional, a software engineer, an english teacher, and multiple lawyers. Now in the midst of Trumps 2024 bid for the presidency, prosecutors hope to convict the former president on 34 felony charges of falsifying records related to the hush money payment to stormy Daniels before the 2016 elections.
77 year old Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. He claims the prosecution is a part of a plot by Democrats in aimed at preventing him from retaking the White House. Meanwhile, outside the courtroom building in New York, the completion of the panel in Trumps criminal trial coincided with a man setting himself on fire. The police says he was not directly related to the trial and was promoting conspiracy theories on the pamphlets.
According to the police, the man who set himself on fire is in hospital and is in a critical condition. Authorities are reviewing security protocols outside the court. Officials believe the man had traveled from Florida to New York in the past few days, is in critical condition, but is alive and intubated at Cornell Burn center. At this time, there were four, three NYPD officers and one court officer.
So four officers who had minor injuries from their exposure to the fire. They are all fine, they are stable and they are green tags, which is minor. At this time we were on scene as the chief mentioned, EMS did treat and transport the patient and we do have our fire marshals here helping with the investigation at this time. Final Jury seated for Donald Trump’s hush money.
