This week marks the beginning of the first criminal trial against Donald Trump. The former president is accused of crimes stemming from his hush money scheme in which he and his associates sought to keep Stormy Daniels quiet until after the 2016 election. This is the first criminal trial against a former U.S. President, and, unlike with Trump’s other, recent legal troubles, Trump will need to appear in court for much of this trial.
I read where the new stock issuance includes a clause allowing Trump to sell his stock earlier. Apparently it is a common clause when new stock is to be issued.
I sense something missing from all of these photos: supportive family members. I imagine they all had very important things to do during these first two days of the trial. Either that, or they think that a state courtroom is insufficiently cushy for them. Or, perhaps, they’ve learned over the years of first-hand experience that he doesn’t deserve their sympathy.
The criminal trial against former U.S. President Donald Trump has indeed begun, marking a significant moment in American history. It is the first time a former president is facing a criminal trial. The charges are related to a hush money scheme allegedly intended to silence Stormy Daniels about an affair to avoid influencing the outcome of the 2016 election. The trial is taking place at the Manhattan Criminal Court, and as reported, the selection of jurors has been a critical process, with many potential jurors being dismissed for concerns about impartiality. Donald Trump is required to be present in court for much of the trial, which is a departure from his other recent legal issues. The trial has attracted significant media attention, with reporters and photographers capturing the scenes inside and outside the courthouse. The presence of protesters and Trump critics, as well as supporters, highlights the public interest and the polarized views on this case.
