Trump thus became the first former US president to be charged with criminal offences.
After the news was released, the former Republican president stated in a statement that this is yet another sample of the “witch hunt” to which he is subjected and accused Biden’s Democratic Party of “using Justice as a weapon to punish a political opponent.
“It is going to turn massively against Joe Biden,” he said.
The Stormy Daniels case is not the only process in which the controversial Trump, 76, has been involved, and in fact he has several open ones for political, economic and sexual crimes.
