US going to hell, says Trump after being charged
By Kathryn ArmstrongDonald Trump has said the US is "going to hell" in a defiant address after pleading not guilty to falsifying business records to hide damaging information ahead of the 2016 election.These relate to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who says they had an adulterous affair.
Earlier, he sat stony-faced and silent for the nearly hour-long proceedings before Judge Juan Merchan, speaking out loud only in response to the judge's questions and to enter his plea of not guilty. Mr Trump said nothing to reporters as he left court. His former lawyer, Michael Cohen - who turned against his former boss - has said he made the payment at Mr Trump's direction.Each of the charges carries a maximum of four years in prison, although a judge could sentence Mr Trump to probation if he is convicted.
Prosecutors also pointed to other payments they say were made via an intermediary on behalf of Mr Trump to suppress potentially politically damaging stories.
