Trump was indicted last week for the possible secret payment of $130,000 (more than 120,000 euros) to the actress by ex-president Michael Cohen’s former lawyer. Trump has thus become the first former US president to be charged, which could end his aspirations to return to the White House in the elections scheduled for 2024.

The Republican leader arrived at his New York skyscraper, Trump Tower, on Monday amid great excitement.
