Donald Trump will become the first former president in US history to face criminal charges today as a trial begins in New York that makes his showdown with Joe Biden in the November election even more unpredictable.
The Republican billionaire is scheduled to appear in a Manhattan court at 9:30 a.m. local time today in a case involving payments to buy the silence of former porn star Stormy Daniels, days before the 2016 presidential election that made him the 45th president. of the United States.
Just over three years after he left the White House in chaos, Trump theoretically faces up to four years in prison. That would not prevent him from running in the Nov. 5 presidential election, in which he dreams of reclaiming Joe Biden's seat, but it would put the campaign in a completely unprecedented situation.
If he is acquitted, it will be a huge victory for the Republican candidate. "The stakes are very high because Trump and his lawyers have so far managed to slow down other trials" in which he is accused of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and malfeasance.
Thus the case of Stormy Daniels, which is characterized as fragile by experts, "may be the only one that will be judged before the elections", he adds. Until the last days, the lawyers multiplied in vain appeals for the delay of the trial. On Saturday night, at a rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump appeared once again as a victim of judicial and political persecution.
