A plot to cover everything that could harm him in his race to the White House with payments that, in turn, he would have hidden by falsifying business records. It is the accusation that the District Attorney of Manhattan draws in the accusation against donald trumpmade public this Tuesday, a historic day in which the Republican tycoon declared himself “not guilty” of all 34 counts that will earn him to be remembered as the first former president of the United States to face criminal charges.

The prosecutor Alvin Bragg He is the one who has managed to bring Trump before the judge. He maintains that the former Republican president “repeatedly and fraudulently” forged business documents to hide “criminal conduct” aimed at hiding information that, if it had come to light, would have taken its toll during the 2016 electoral campaign.

In its writtenBragg describes how the former president would have orchestrated a “catch and kill” operation to influence the elections that won him the Presidency and prevent the disclosure of information that could harm youthrough a series of payments that would have camouflaged after months of false commercial records.

Among these payments, the Prosecutor’s Office highlights three, all of them destined to bury potential scandals of the president’s personal life: one of them, from $30,000 to a former Trump Tower doorman in New York who claimed to have information about an alleged child of Trump born out of wedlockand two others to two women who claimed to have had sexual relations with him.

One of them would be the porn film actress stormy danielswhom Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen would have secretly paid $130,000 to prevent her from making her affair with the then candidate public. An illegal payment allegedly made shortly before the elections through a shell company, which the lawyer ended up recognizing and which would amount to an illegal contribution to the campaign.

The Prosecutor’s Office also describes a payment to another woman who also claimed to have had relations with Trumpin this case for a value of $150,000. Trump would have explicitly ordered his lawyer to do so through a fake company, according to the statement.

Once the elections were won, the then-president would have reimbursed his lawyer for the payment to Daniels through checks disguised as supposed payments for his legal services. In this way, they would have been made up to 34 false entries in commercial registers from New York to hide that $130,000 down payment.

An accusation that now materializes in 34 counts of first degree falsification of business records that they could end up putting Trump in the dock.
