Donald Trump's lawyer said Friday he will surrender to New York authorities but won't consider a plea deal, after his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury investigating a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The indictment is unprecedented and represents the first criminal charges against a former U.S. president.

Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told NBC's "Today" show on Friday the former president was initially "shocked" when notified of the grand jury's action late Thursday but "put a notch on his belt" and vowed to challenge the criminal case. “President Trump will not take a plea deal in this case. It’s not going to happen. There’s no crime,” Tacopina said.

  1. I have an idea, if Trump is arrested, then I suggest that everyone spontaneously go to the nearby bank to line up to withdraw money as a counterattack, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, just line up. There are too many people in line, it’s hard to say what will happen next

    1. Manhattan DA Bragg securing Trump’s nomination with the Republican primary a year ahead of the primary? Not a chance in hell for Trump might get a rise in popularity, but that is about it. And, a lot can very dramatically change between now and the Republican primary next year…

  2. I’m a Vietnam era Marine Corps veteran who has watched as our legal system & government as a whole has fallen apart. I love this country but am so ashamed of what it has become, (the laughing stock of the world). I’m old enough that it won’t affect me but I worry about my kids & grandkids futures with the corrupt leadership in place now!

    1. -Come over an see Johnny Depp pursuing Amber 
      Heard with a blade as she begs him to stop, a recording played at trial that I transcribed
      and loudened

  3. Os bandidos tão no poder prendendo as pessoas que não cometeu crime. O que será da humanidade‽

  4. This seems like a good time to reflect on the February 13, 2021 Senate Floor remarks of Mitch McDonnell: “President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen. He didn’t get away with anything yet.”
