Former President Trump pleaded not guilty this afternoon to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in regards to his alleged role in making illegal campaign payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Appearing in court with several attorneys and showing little emotion, the former president and 2024 presidential candidate sat quietly and responded with “not guilty” when he was read the details of his indictment.
He is the first U.S. president to face criminal charges.
In New York State, falsifying business records on its own is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in prison, but can be elevated to a felony punishable by up to four years in prison when done to advance or conceal another crime.
Earlier in the afternoon, as his motorcade made its way through Manhattan, Trump posted on social media: “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL – WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America.”
The former president is expected to address the media tonight at 8pm from Mar-a-Lago.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

LOCK HIM UP
In the Holy Bible it says that Bilaam tried to curse the Jewish nation, however, the Almighty did not let him.
Later on in that story, it says that the donkey spoke to Bilaam and chastised him.
The Almighty did not want that Bilaam (even though he tried to curse a whole nation) should get embarrassed through the donkey, so the Almighty arranged that the donkey should disappear in order that Bilaam should not be humiliated.
I am very surprised that there are people out there who do not care if another human being is humiliated.
This is not the way the Almighty wants us to function.
