By Michael R. Sisak and Eric Tucker, Associated PressFILE - Former President Donald Trump comments as he arrives for a press conference, March 25, 2024, in New York . Trump is set to stand trial Monday, April 15, in New York on state charges related to the very sex scandal that he and his aides strove to hide. Barring a last-minute delay, it will be the first of Trump's four criminal cases to go to trial.
Barring a last-minute delay, it will be the first of Trump’s four criminal cases to go to trial. It will be an unprecedented event in U.S. history — the first criminal trial of a former president. They later implicated Trump as directing Cohen’s efforts, obliquely identifying him in court papers as “Individual-1.” Justice Department policy forbids charging a sitting president with a crime, and nothing came of it.
Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg, a Democrat who took office in January 2022, saw the hush money case differently. In a court filing, Bragg’s office framed the prosecution as another of Trump’s election interference cases, accusing the Republican of orchestrating an “expansive and corrupt criminal scheme to conceal damaging information from the voting public” and “undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election.”
Trump, reeling from the October surprise of the never-before-seen 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitals, then directed Cohen to arrange the payment to Daniels, who was agitating to come forward with her claims that they had a sexual encounter at a 2006 celebrity golf outing in Lake Tahoe, California, according to the indictment.
