WASHINGTON, April 1 — Former US president Donald Trump is expected to surrender to the authorities in New York on Tuesday to face charges over a hush-money payment to a porn star.Trump, who was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday, becoming the first US president ever to face criminal charges, will surrender at a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday, his lawyers said.
A grand jury indicted Trump after hearing testimony from a number of witnesses about a US$130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about an affair she had with Trump in 2006.Following his booking, the 76-year-old Trump will be arraigned before a judge at which time he will be presented with the charges and enter a plea.Tacopina said Trump will plead not guilty.
“President Trump will not take a plea deal in this case,” he told NBC’s Today show. “It’s not going to happen. There’s no crime.”While the criminal charges remain sealed, it is difficult to predict whether a potential conviction could see the unprecedented situation of a US president being sentenced to prison.
Nothing in the Constitution prevents someone from running for the nation’s highest office while facing charges, and even a conviction would not bar them from serving as president.
