Trump having a business and living in New York is like swimming in shark infested waters. A Republican can never get fair hearing or justice in deep blue demonrats infested States like New York. It's all dirty politics - and we know it.

Manhattan grand jury votes to indict Trump — NYT

NEW YORK, March 30 (Reuters) - Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury after a probe into hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, becoming the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges even as he makes another run for the White House, a law enforcement source said on Thursday.

The charges, arising from an investigation led by Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, could reshape the 2024 presidential race. Trump previously said he would continue campaigning for the Republican Party's nomination if charged with a crime.

The specific charges are not yet known and the indictment will likely be announced in the coming days, the New York Times reported. Trump will have to travel to Manhattan for fingerprinting and other processing at that point.

Bragg's office and a lawyer representing Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Trump, 76, sought re-election in 2020 but was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump has falsely claimed he lost to Biden due to widespread voting fraud and has called the investigation that led to his indictment a "political witch hunt." Bragg's office last year won the criminal conviction of the businessman-turned-politician's real estate company.

A grand jury convened by Bragg in January began hearing evidence about Trump's role in the payment to Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election that he ended up winning. Daniels, a well-known adult film actress and director whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has said she received the money in exchange for keeping silent about a sexual encounter she had with Trump in 2006.

The former president's personal lawyer Michael Cohen has said Trump directed hush payments to Daniels and to a second woman, former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who also said she had a sexual relationship with him. Trump has denied having affairs with either woman.

Federal prosecutors examined the Daniels payoff in 2018, leading to a prison sentence for Cohen but no charges against Trump.

No former or sitting U.S. president has ever faced criminal charges. Trump also faces two criminal investigations by a special counsel appointed by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and one by a local prosecutor in Georgia.

About 3 days ago, Seun made a commendable effort towards bringing sanity back to Nairaland by announcing the ban on ethnic slurs which is what has hitherto made Nairaland a very notorious platform for propagation of ethnic hatred and what not.

However, his article was vague as it did not enunciate what constitutes ethnic slurring, the words, phrases or sentences that could be adjudged as such.

So, I write this to seek clarification, both for myself and for others who might want to know so that we can be properly guided.

They say ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but I also think the law should not be deliberately hidden or made vague and ambiguous and left only to the judge to interpret as he wills.

So, what constitutes ethnic slur on Nairaland?

MARCH 21, 2023

Nigeria carried out the second round of its electoral process with gubernatorial and state assembly elections on March 18. The United States is deeply troubled by the disturbing acts of violent voter intimidation and suppression that took place during those polls in Lagos, Kano, and other states. Members of the U.S. diplomatic mission observed the elections in Lagos and elsewhere and witnessed some of these incidents first-hand. The use of ethnically charged rhetoric before, during, and after the gubernatorial election in Lagos was particularly concerning. We commend all Nigerian political actors, religious and community leaders, youth, and citizens who have chosen to reject and speak out against such violence and inflammatory language, affirming Nigerians’ commitment to and respect for the democratic process.

We call on Nigerian authorities to hold accountable and bring to justice any individuals found to have ordered or carried out efforts to intimidate voters and suppress voting during the election process. The United States likewise will consider all available actions, including additional visa restrictions, on individuals believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic process in Nigeria.

Following the February 25 national elections, the United States joined other international observers in urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to improve voting processes and technical elements that experienced flaws in that voting round. The March 18 elections appear to have had significant operational improvements, as polling stations generally opened on time and most results were visible on an electronic viewing platform in a timely manner.

The United States renews its call for any challenges to election results to go through established legal processes, which must not be interfered with. We further call for Nigeria’s people to work together as they participate in and continue to strengthen the country’s vibrant democracy.

Just go and sleep. You may feel better in the morning.

otipoju:


I don't have time for muntulas like you. As Lagos is no man's land go and prove yourselves there.

Always looking for trouble with piutrid and uncouth tounges and then turn around to play victim.

Someone's ancestral land with Kings and chiefs, and noble men una open gutter waaa they talk say na no man's land.

That the place is safe and conducive for your business is not enough. ..you must call Yorubas weak and slaves to Hausa sey na only mouth dem get. Shebi the wild ones don provoke display for una small, you can retaliate and let's see if you will be able to trade in peace in any corner of Lagos.

You are taunting peoples whose ancestors were warriors.As if anybody can come to your state and say it's no man's land it would please you greatly.

You think other Nigerian tribes have forgotten the fact that your Igbo soldiers planned a coup that killed the prominent leaders of all other tribes but hinted their own Igbo leaders to flee. That is the sin that your Igbos sinned against other tribes and why they find it hard to trust you.

Raf4:
Congratulations Sanwo-Olu. This is very confirmation that Lagos is not a no man's land.

otipoju:

I don't hate Igbos but if i did, would I be wrong in doing so considering the hate you people spit out everyday.

Shebi una talk sey Lagos na no man's land? Those who own the place have shown you the real landowners. Go and do your worst.

otipoju:
Even if a man 's land is barren you dont go there and call it no man's land.

If he was friendly to you, he will become hostile.

For me, I lost the interest to go out and vote not because Tinubu won.
No, he was the second candidate who I preferred after Atiku and I somehow believed he will win.

BlakKluKluxKlan:


Go to the Yeast to set up your own.

All your gragra to leave nairaland enmasse and set up your own parallel website ended in shame.
You had no choice but to come back.
Seun is not intokerant, vindictive and discriminatory like you tribal bigots.
Were nairaland owned by Igbo, all the mods and crew will be Igbo and only Igbo will be running riot on it.
