Trump unleashes Truth Social rant as he wakes to historic first day of criminal hush money trial
Donald Trump has lashed out on Truth Social on the morning he makes history by becoming the first former American president to face a criminal trial, calling for the New York hush money case against him to be dropped and once more claiming without evidence that the indictments he faces are part of a plot by “Radical Left Democrats” to prevent him from campaigning for the presidency.
The presumptive Republican nominee to take on in November’s election is due in court in today for the start of a trial brought charging him with 34 felony counts relating to the falsification of business records in order to conceal a “hush money” payment made to the porn star during the 2016 presidential election to ensure her silence over an extramarital affair she alleges she had with the businessman a decade earlier.
