The difficulties of former US President Donald Trump do not seem to be reducing. Trump is accused of secretly paying money to an adult film actress during his 2016 presidential campaign. Donald Trump is the first president to be indicted on criminal charges. Now his hopes of getting the presidential candidate in 2024 seem to be collapsing. Trump will appear in a Manhattan court on Tuesday for arraignment after being indicted last week by a Manhattan grand jury.
special security arrangements were made
Former US President Donald Trump has an appearance in Manhattan court today. During this time Trump’s supporters can demonstrate in his support, so the security cordon outside the court has been increased and secret agencies have been put on alert mode. The mayor of the city of Manhattan said that strict action would be taken if there was any ruckus during Trump’s appearance.
Strengthening his legal team, Trump has hired attorney and former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche to defend him, according to media reports. Blanche and other Trump lawyers urged the judge on Monday not to allow videography, photography and radio coverage. In a letter to the court, the lawyers said that the court should not allow TV coverage as it could vitiate the atmosphere of the city.
Richard Nixon Watergate was also involved in legal action
In the year 1974, Richard Nixon was also in legal trouble over the Watergate scandal. He was charged with obstruction of justice and bribery, a case he was spared only because he was pardoned by President Gerald Ford shortly after Nixon resigned the presidency.
