Donald Trump was indicted on 34 counts, including falsifying New York business records in order to conceal damaging and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election. In one instance, American media paid $30,000 to a former Trump tower door man who claimed to have a story about a child Trump had out of wedlock. The special counsel wired $130,000 to an attorney for an adult film actress which we know is Stermi Daniels. As this office has done time and time again, we uphold our solemn responsibility to ensure that everyone stands equal before the law. We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct.
