The reason nobody is reporting on the actual charges (other than that there are ~30 of them) is because Grand Jury indictments are sealed until the suspect has been arraigned.
There is speculation that many of the charges are related to falsifying business records to cover up the payment, which would explain the number of charges involved. If true, then this case has parallels with what happened with Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinski case: it wasn't the affair that was criminal act, it was the coverup after the fact.
Based on one article that quoted an anonymous source from one of Trump's advisors or confidants, said that they are working toward an arraignment on Tuesday. But it's a high profile case with exceptional circumstances--namely the involvement of the Secret Service--so we should probably take that date with a grain of salt.
- Tangurena2 4y agoTo be fair to Bill, he asked for a definition of "sex" and the definition he was given did not include a blowjob as part of that definition. Everybody else knows that a blowjob is a sexual act (when I lived in Florida, it was listed as "sodomy" but then if you weren't a married couple, everything other than "missionary" was defined as "sodomy").
- runnerup 4y ago> it wasn't the affair that was criminal act I always thought this was bullshit, despite being otherwise happy with bill Clinton’s presidential leadership. To me it seemed bill was in a position of power over Monica and it’s a clear case of statutory rape. To me (as a personal opinion).
