A grand jury has voted to indict Donald Trump in New York over a hush money payment made to the adult film star, Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Trump was expected to appear in court for his arraignment on Tuesday, Trump’s lawyer, Susan Necheles said. At that point he would enter a plea on the charges. New York’s police have been told to report for duty on Friday and be prepared to deal with “unusual disorder”, according to a memo seen by NBC.
It is unclear whether Trump will be handcuffed at his appearance but he will be fingerprinted, photographed and processed for a felony arrest. His legal team is expected to vigorously fight the charges, and a timeline for a potential trial remains unclear.
Meanwhile, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele had foretold an indictment of the former US president some years back before the presidential election that was held in 2020.
Primate Ayodele was quoted in a written statement and in a video during a live service in his Lagos church stating that the former president will be rocked by several scandals and will be disgraced.
In the first statement, Primate Ayodele explained that the former president will be disgraced when he leaves the government.
These were his words; “Donald Trump will face some legal challenges that will disgrace him when he leaves government. This is why He is yet to accept defeat.”
True to his words, there have not been any former US government indicted for any criminal offence apart from Donald Trump. This alone is a big disgrace especially at a time when the former president is preparing to contest for the seat in 2024.
In a video shared on his church’s social media page, Primate Ayodele made it known that Donald Trump will face legal issues and that people will soon understand what he meant by his statement.
These were his words; “They will want to rock Donald Trump with various cases so watch it, very soon you will understand what I am saying.’’
As the man of God said, the indictment comes as Trump faces legal hurdles in other potential criminal cases. In Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney, Fani Willis is mulling charges in an investigation into alleged efforts by Trump and more than a dozen of his allies to undermine the state’s results in the 2020 election, which he lost to President Biden.
A special purpose grand jury conducted a six-month probe last year and delivered a report with its findings to Willis in January. The majority of that report was ordered sealed, at least until charging decisions are made.
In Washington, D.C., special counsel, Jack Smith is overseeing two Justice Department investigations into alleged efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election, and Trump’s handling of sensitive government documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home and possible obstruction of efforts to retrieve them.
