Former US President Donald Trump believes he is the “most innocent” man in the country’s history. It is reported by TASS.
According to the ex-president of the United States, after checking 11 million pages of various documents related to him, including his tax returns, representatives of the prosecution could not find anything reprehensible. “That probably makes me the most innocent person in the history of our country,” he said at a rally of his supporters in Waco, Texas.
Trump added that the ongoing investigation against him in the case of forgery of financial documents has no basis. “An investigation is underway into something that is neither a crime, nor a misdemeanor, nor even a scam,” the politician said. However, he did not talk about his possible arrest, which he mentioned a week ago, and also called for protests if this happens.
A grand jury in New York is looking into the possibility of bringing charges against Trump in connection with the alleged forgery of Trump Organization financial documents in the payment of money to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels. According to the case file, Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 to keep her from spreading information during the 2016 election campaign about an alleged connection with Trump in 2006. Then the money spent, according to the prosecutor’s office of the Southern District of New York, was compensated to him at the expense of the Trump Organization, for which the company’s documents were falsified.
Forgery itself is considered a petty crime in the American legal system and usually does not carry a penalty of imprisonment, but if a grand jury decides that the falsification was made to cover up or commit another crime, then Trump could face up to four years in prison. .
