Ex-US President Trump arrested over hush money payment, he pleads not guilty
By MYBRANDBOOK
Former US President Donald Trump who ruled the country for four years till January 2021, was arrested when he arrived to surrender at the Manhattan criminal court. He is charged over hush money payments made to a porn star just before the 2016 presidential election. Trump, however, denies wrongdoing. He is the first serving or former US president to be indicted, arrested and arraigned on criminal charges.
Paying hush money is not illegal. But the prosecution says Trump falsified business records and broke election laws as he tried to cover up the payments. Each of the charges carries a maximum of four years in prison, though a judge could sentence Trump to probation if he is convicted. The former president 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 not-guilty plea.
While making their arguments, prosecutors told the judge Trump had made threatening posts on social media.Lawyers for Trump responded that their client was frustrated by the case, which he believed to be a "great injustice".
Trump's trial could begin as early as January 2024, Judge Merchan said, meaning the Republican - who is running for the US presidency again in 2024 - may be back in court just as primaries begin to select the party's nominee.
Trump immediately returned to his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, where he delivered brief remarks in the ballroom of the Palm Beach resort.
