The first criminal trial of Donald Trump has begun in New York. This may result in a fine accompanied by jail time. The latter seems unlikely, but a conviction would have a reverberating effect. Since this is a moral issue that concerns a candidate of ultra-conservative voters, a certain number of them may be destabilized enough to not vote again. It’s about secretly paying a call girl $130,000 to buy his silence this time.
The prosecutor wants to demonstrate that this secret payment, since it was made by an intermediary who was reimbursed against a false invoice, had the main purpose of preventing the truth from being revealed in the midst of an election campaign. The testimony of David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, America’s most famous tabloid, revealed an astonishing level of corruption. In court, he spoke about the agreement he reached with Donald Trump to support his candidacy, promising to be “his eyes and ears,” to eliminate all harmful activities, and how he also agreed to buy the doorman’s silence.
