New York, Mar 31 (PTI) Scandals and allegations have been commonplace for Donald Trump for most of the over seven decades that he has walked this planet but handing him the ignominy of becoming the first US President to be indicted on criminal charges is fellow New Yorker and first Black Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
A grand jury in Manhattan Thursday afternoon voted to indict the real estate tycoon, former reality TV host and America's Commander-in-Chief, making 76-year-old Trump the first former US President to face criminal charges.
The office of Manhattan District Attorney Bragg, who is bringing the criminal charges against Trump in connection with USD 130,000 hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, said in a statement that “this evening, we contacted Mr Trump’s attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan DA’s Office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal. Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected.” Born in Harlem, Bragg, 49 a Harvard Law School alumnus, was sworn in as the 37th District Attorney of New York County (Manhattan) in January 2022.
