Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up his reimbursing Cohen for the $130,000 hush money payment. Trump repaid Cohen in 2017 through monthly checks that were disguised as payments for legal services and falsely documented at the Trump Organization, according to prosecutors.” — MSNBC

NY Bragg Case

“In April of 2023, the former MAGA President pleaded not guilty in New York State Supreme Court to state felony charges that he falsified New York business records. Slated to begin in late March 2024, this will likely be the first criminal case against Trump to go to trial. While referenced commonly as a “hush money” case, it’s absolutely imperative to understand its true intent and impact: to keep 2016 voters from finding out the truth of the extent of then MAGA candidate Trump’s depravity so he could seize executive power.” — Freedom From Fascism

Trump covered up his sexual affair

“In America, we value our freedoms – including our freedom to elect leaders who govern in our name. But on the eve of the 2016 election, Trump covered up his sexual affair with Stormy Daniels to keep voters in the dark so he would not lose. He now faces trial in New York for the alleged criminal cover up that set the pattern for his presidency: Trump lies to voters and meddles in elections in order to seize and hold onto power.”

No-one is above the law

In America, we value our freedoms — including our freedom to elect leaders who govern in our name. But on the eve of the 2016 election, Trump covered up his sexual affair with Stormy Daniels to keep voters in the dark so he would not lose the election.
The former MAGA President now faces trial in New York for the criminal cover up that set the pattern for his presidency: Trump lies to voters and meddles in elections in order to seize and hold onto power.
As with their other attempts at overturning the will of the people, Trump and MAGA must be held accountable. They will keep chipping away at our freedoms until they face the full consequences for their crimes.
Trump was indicted by a jury of everyday Americans, who weighed the evidence and determined he must stand trial before a jury of everyday Americans to ensure we apply the law equally to all.

TakeAway: No one is above the law. Hold the former MAGA President accountable.
