The United States is two days away from experiencing a historic moment, since Donald Trump will be the former president to be charged in the United States, due to the case of an irregular payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels. As a result, he is charged with at least thirty counts, all related to the payment to Daniels of $130,000.
Before this, Trump had faced two political trials, accusations for the irregularities committed during “The Capitol Takeover”. The judicial investigations during Trump’s career exceed a dozen and range from tax fraud, the assault on the Capitol, maneuvers to interfere in the 2020 electoral result and sexual abuse.
Even so, Trump is not the first president of the United States accused of sexual crimes since Bill Clinton was accused by the House on October 8, 1998 of serious crimes and misdemeanors, accused of lying under oath and obstruction of justice for the case. of Paula Jones in 1994, who alleged that she suffered sexual harassment by the president. In addition, the famous case of Monica Lewinsky between 1995 and 1997.
In that case, Clinton initially denied her relationship with Lewinsky, who was an intern at the White House. “I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,” the former president said during his trial, but later admitted that he had lied.
Following these scandals, Clinton was acquitted by the Senate in 1999, as the two-thirds majority of the required votes was not reached.
Now Trump has to appear before the judge at 2:45 p.m. New York time. So far, everything indicates that Trump will not be handcuffed when he steps on American soil. In addition, the court has canceled other less important hearings to prevent foot traffic in the building for security reasons.
