Donald Trump, former US president and favorite to run as the Republican candidate in the 2024 election, will be formally charged on Tuesday with criminal charges for allegedly paying money to a pornographic actress for her silence during the 2016 election campaign .
His supporters and opponents gathered loudly outside the Manhattan courthouse.
Trump learns for the first time of the allegations against him. According to his lawyers, he pleads not guilty and should make his own declaration according to the usual legal procedure.
From his motorcade, Trump posted on social media: “Heading to Lower Manhattan, to the courthouse. It seems so unreal – WOW they are going to HOT ME. I can’t believe this is happening in America.”
Yahoo News reported late Monday that Trump would face 34 felony charges for falsifying business records.
