A surreal day in American history has come to a close, after former President Trump was arrested, booked and arraigned in a New York City courthouse.
Although it has been a hectic few days in Lower Manhattan, there were signs on Wednesday morning that things were moving on. By the courthouse, the street had been reopened.
In a press conference following former President Donald Trump’s arraignment, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg detailed the 34-count indictment. The indictment, which contains 34 felony charges, was unsealed on Tuesday. It reveals that three people allegedly received hush money payments: adult film star Stormy Daniels, Playboy model Karen McDougal and a former Trump Tower doorman.
Prosecutors said it was done to conceal criminal conduct that would have been damaging in the 2016 election.“The question at the end of the day, though, still becomes one of will the government be able to prove charges beyond a reasonable doubt here," Coyne said."As you can see from the indictment itself, there’s really a lot of details lacking in the indictment.”
